- The “animal flowers” — tidal anemone pools: shallow rock pools inside the cave where live sea anemones (the namesake “flowers”) cling to coral rock — look closely at low tide to see them opening and closing. It’s a rare, tactile marine display you can observe from safe ledges without needing snorkel gear.
- The blowhole and ocean spray: when the Atlantic gets rowdy, waves funnel into the cave and shoot seawater up through a natural blowhole. It’s loud, wet, and dramatic — best experienced from the viewing platforms above where you get the full spray-without-getting-soaked effect.
- Cave geology and coral limestone formations: scalloped walls, little grottoes and natural arches carved into coral rock tell the story of wind and sea over millennia. The textures and tiny caves make for interesting

- Cave geology and coral limestone formations: scalloped walls, little grottoes and natural arches carved into coral rock tell the story of wind and sea over millennia. The textures and tiny caves make for interesting close-up photos and a real sense of natural architecture.
- Cliff-top panoramic views: the northward outlook across the Atlantic is raw and wide-open — jagged coastline, crashing surf, and big skies. It’s one of the best easy-access viewpoints on the island for dramatic seascapes and wind-swept photos.
- Staircase and viewing platforms: the concrete steps down into the site and the multiple platforms give different angles on the cave and coast. They’re steep and can be slippery, so take it slow — but they make the whole site unusually accessible compared with other sea caves.
- Seasonal marine and birdlife: keep an eye out for passing dolphins, occasional migrating whales in the winter months, and seabirds riding the updrafts. Even if you don’t get a big animal show, the constant presence of marine life adds a living element to the scenery.
- Local vibe, small shop and picnic spots: there’s a modest visitor area with a small shop/cafe and places to sit and soak the view. It’s low-key, which keeps the focus on the cave and coast — bring water, a snack, and a light jacket for the wind.
