This drive lives up to the hype. One of the most beautiful drives I have ever taken.

One of the coolest.places I have ever hiked too in my life. Very quick hike to the bottom. To find the path, you can park across from the whirlpool restaurant, or the small parking lot south of that but this is usually filled up. From your parking spot, you want to head south on the walk/bike trail. You will pass the upper whirlpool trail until you come to a bike rack and a sign for the whirlpool. The path down is marked with a purple and white swirl symbol on the trees. It is about 189 steps down and then a small hike to the pebble beach. From there you can circle the whirlpool at you leisure. The walk up is not for the faint of heart!!

Beautiful bridge over the canal. Also the place to get the best view of the bridge of sighs, which connects the doge between canals.
