Hermit crab making his way across this rock.
Views of Pola Island from the rocky beach.
Waves crash into the shore as you emerge from the forest onto the rocky beach. The surf and currents are strong, so listen to the park services recommendation not to swim in this area.
The stairs and ropes ("ladders") make this part of the trail difficult. Take your time and enjoy the adventure.
The trail passes through a stand of coconut trees, so watch your head for falling coconuts.
The trail descends into the forest underneath the canopy above.
The Pola Island trail follows an old road. You can drive out part of this road if you want, but a high clearance vehicle would be recommended.
