Thunder Hole

Thunder Hole is a rock formation where the incoming waves are forced into a sort of cave. The result is, that with the right conditions, the impact of the water creates a thunderous roar and a lot of spray.

Thunder hole is located south of Sand Beach on the park road. Parking is available in a lot on the right hand side.

The walk down involves a fair number of steps, many of which are wet from the spray. The viewing area is limited so you might need some patience to get some decent photos or video.

Tips

• Take care not to get soaked. Ocean waves have a sort of pattern.
• There is a decent amount of parking across the road from Thunder Hole.
• Watch the kids. The fencing isn't that effective. We saw a couple of kids about 12 years old or so who were dancing around next to a 25 foot drop and slipped on the wet rocks. Luckily they didn't go off the edge.
• The tide and the wind
