This is pretty cool place to jump off rocks into the pool of water. Jump heights range from 10ft to 100ft. Obviously we don't recommend anything over 20ft. It is a moderate hike into the park. The steps are steep down and up to the cove. You should be in fair health to take this trip. Please be careful as snakes are out and about in this area.
