Man...things have changed at Devils Bay over the years. They now allow tour boats in CLOSE!! And when I say close...I mean..they are so close they are in the area where folks are trying to snorkle. Worth the hike and worth seeing but be prepared to share everything with some powere boats right up to shore!

Parked at the entrance to The Baths and took the trail through the boulders to Devil's Bay. The water was perfect and it is a great place to take photos of the granite boulders. The trail may be a little to challenging for folks with any walking/stooping issues, but definitely worth the effort. Try the "blow hole" for a completely... More

Great surf, blue skies, and blue water. Crazy to see chicken and roosters on the beach. Definitely check this out when at The Baths.

It's all so surprisingly beautiful that when you reach the bay after a 15/20 minutes walk downhill - not too difficult but it requires a bit of attentoin - you just remain open mouth!

You have to make it through the narrow paths, boulders and stairs to get here, but if you can do it - it will be worth it! Bring your snorkel gear and be prepared to see a topless lady or two [not necessary one you'd want to see topless ;-)] Bringing kids or the elderly won't be an option, unless... More

Beautiful small beach with nice snorkeling. Typically pretty secluded and a great spot for a relaxing day.

After hiking to the Baths, a very cool additional hike that takes some agility as you stoop and climb through rocks and up and down a few well-placed ladders. Unfortunately, it was more crowded than I expected and not everyone was very respectful of the environment. But definitely worth the hike--great photo opportunity. Significant undertow so best to be a... More
