About Mile 6.3

Mile 6.3 is one of those dirt roads that heads from the main road toward the sea. The spot is unspoiled and very beautiful, mainly because it is so hard to get to. If you don't have a good 4x4, don't bother trying to drive down to the water. Take plenty of water with you, since it can get quite hot there. There is a small shoot that floods on the surge and it makes for an easy entry & exit. Exit is not that easy. Many lava tubes are at about 20 meter deep at this location Directions: Found at Mile mark 6.3 North of the junction of 270 and 19.
