For the final day of our spring break we planned to go to another secluded and incredibly beautiful beach, Spanish Steps. When people talk about the prettiest beaches on the island, Spanish Steps and Haputo are the two that always come up. Spanish Steps is like Haputo, a short but steep climb down a mountain through the jungle. This one required a little more use of ropes, but was doable for the kids with a little caution. Caleb was a champ in his back pack despite Shelby having to duck under and climb over a few tree branches along the way. The beach there is small and entirely crushed coral, no sand, but the snorkeling is phenomenal!
This was the view awaiting us at the end of the trail...
Beneath these waters was an incredible reef with brightly colored orange, green and yellow corals. There were anemones throughout that were filled with huge clown fish bobbing in and out to peek at us. I saw more types of fish than I've ever seen. Several huge variety of puffer fish, many different angel fish and loads of others. Absolutely incredible! There are some go pro videos of the underwater views that I will add when we get them uploaded.
