Why It's Dangerous
🌊
Rogue Waves
Waves can appear without warning and sweep over the rocks, knocking people into the ocean.
🧊
Slippery Surfaces
Black rocks may look dry but are often wet and extremely slippery — even on calm days.
⚠️
Unpredictable Conditions
Tides, swells and weather can change fast. What looks safe can quickly become life-threatening.
