Flat Point Tide Pools

[2] A large lava flow went down the northeast side of the island into the ocean, forming the Flat Point peninsula as it cooled.

[3] Today the Flat Point Tide Pools are home to diverse marine life, and are a popular hiking location.

Birdwatchers can see numerous bird species in the Flat Point area, including the Common Ground Dove, the Brown Noddy, the Least Sandpiper, and the White-tailed Tropicbird.

Rip currents can occur in the Flat Point tide pools, especially from November to April.
