Pirates Cove is actually a nude beach, but if you don't take the trail all the way to the beach, you'll find our favorite spot to watch the sunset or just enjoy the ocean views. This is not for people who are scared of heights because there is a sheer cliff. This is an easy walk (less than 5 minutes) for such a spectacular sight.
