Review:
Located on a particularly rocky strip of coastline on the North Shore, Annaly Bay and Tide Pools are quite challenging to access. However, it will be worth your trouble to hike in to these stunning natural rock pools. The hike is 5 miles in-and-out, and most of it is through tropical rain forest so there is plenty of shade. However, the trail is steep in places and you need to be reasonably fit. The remote location and the difficult access ensure that the pools are usually deserted. If you are unsure of your capabilities it would be wise to hire a local guide to lead the way. You need to bring water, snacks and sunscreen as there are no facilities on this beach.
