I love visiting Second Valley. It's a popular spot, and for good reason - it's got a bit of everything. Most come for the beaches and scuba diving, which are great, but what I really enjoy are the hiking trails through rolling hills with amazing views. On one side, there are dramatic, rugged sea cliffs, and on the other, green pastures. Some trails even lead to quiet, hidden beaches. On this particular visit, sporadic rain showers created some beautiful rainbows, making for some beautiful photos.
