Spanish Steps

This past Saturday we spent time hiking the Spanish Steps and snorkeling in the cove below. The Spanish built these steps for access to a drinking water well. Located on the Navy base, this hike is down a very steep cliff, luckily there are ropes for support along the way. We ran into a group of coconut crabs grubbing out on the way there.
After a short hike we were rewarded with a secluded rocky beach that looked out to this cove.
We geared up and spent the next hour or so snorkeling.
I loved snorkeling here because of the shallow waters, breathtaking coral and dozens of colorful fish. Thanks to Riena for taking these pictures!
We saw a lot of clams here too.
And we found a purple starfish.
