Beautiful and rugged. It was really lovely to experience the cool ocean a few steps away from the hot springs. There aren’t signs marking the springs, but if you go along the tree line near the boat launch, you’ll find them. They were silent in a beautiful, surreal kind of way.
A few things to keep in mind:
- The walk from the parking lot to the black sand beach involves a short scramble over large (up to basketball sized), rounded lava rocks. This can be fun, but would be tricky for anyone with mobility issues (or a toddler).
- If you opt to use your car GPS instead of Google Maps, double check the route. Our car GPS took us via a route that was decimated in the 2018 eruption and we had to backtrack.
