Never gets old. 📍Gibson Steps truly is a magical place. Check the tides to feel like a tiny person as you marvel at these giant rock formations from the beach.

The Lower Falls are not large, but you can get behind them and look out through the falling water to the large pool surrounded by mossy logs and rocks. The Upper Falls are a series of cascades viewed from a platform.
