Lava Pools

Lava Pools

These lava pools are a great place for a dip when it’s warm, but even in winter, it’s fun just watching the waves break over the oddly-shaped rock formations. Cement paths weave between the pools if you want to walk around. There’s also a traditional-style, open-air pool nearby.
