Is this a true sea cave? Well, for most of it's length there is a narrow opening to the sky. In some parts this opening is straight enough and wide enough that the sky can be seen. If you're in there, you're in a sea cave.
Looking into the back of the sea cave from about half way along the tunnel.
At most times of the day, the light reflects off the sides into the underground cavity below, giving a gentle, filtered illumination that portrays the rock walls, floor and roof in glorious colour and fine detail.
With the crabs all having scurried to safety, this is the view back toward the sea cave enterence.
At low tide it's fairly easy to access the cave mouth from well below the high tide line.
Extending about eight or ten metres into the rock face, the floor is fairly level. At some places the water is well over knee deep. Walking becomes difficult where the base is wide enough for only one foot.
The wall of the large cavern lit by the shaft of light entering through the gap in the sea cave roof.
At the back of the sea cave, the tunnel opens into a rounded space about three metres by two metres and quite high enough to stand up.
At this point, so long as you don't mind getting a bit damp, you can sit down on the sloping walls and ledges to photograph close to the sea cave floor and water line.
In splendid colour, the back wall of the sea cave is illuminated by diffused light penetrating to the depths of the underground tunnel.
