Description 

The Virgin area has many fun deep water soloing routes with safe falls into turquoise blue water with grades from 5.8 to 5.12. There's a convenient platform of rock on the left-hand (with your back to the sea) for keeping gear and taking pictures.

When the road ends, continue to walk straight until you arrive at a beautiful view of the cove. Hug the water to your left and continue to walk until the brush and trees give way to barren rock. Cross the peninsula here and you will arrive at the Virgin area.
