Forbidden Island 12 3 18
Read MoreTaking a trail to the right of Forbidden Island, among and over and through the boulders of old coral mixed with lava, there is a sink hole of sorts? It forms a cave with cracks in the top to allow in light and rain. You can get in through assorted holes in the side or through the 'chimney'. Mark is assessing the situation here, but will decide to come in through a smaller hole closer to the water.
This is the space that allows the water in (and its reflection). Outside this window is another pool that's wonderful to swim in when the seas are calm. It's fun to sit on the ledge, even on surging days if it's low tide, and watch the wave action with the reef and other pools. Yes, it could be a dangerous place out there, but the pool we are in is around 12 feet deep maximum and beautifully protected.
