Tacky Falls is so pristine and isolated that, if you stumbled across them wandering up the coast from Robin’s Bay, you might be tempted to claim them as your own. The falls drop in two tiers over a sheer rock wall reaching more than 30m high, and cascade into a clear pool you can swim in. It's a 40-minute hike from Robin's Bay – locals will be able to direct you.
