A power spot for love... A heart-shaped natural tide pool that only appears for an hour at low tide. If you miss this miraculous time, you'll find yourself in the ocean...be sure to check the low tide times in advance. The road to the coast where Heart Rock is located is like a jungle. You can dive through a tunnel of plants you've never seen before. I was so excited all the way along the way...
