The only sea cave on Barbados you can get into, chewed out of the cliff at North Point on the wild northern tip. Two English explorers found it from the water in 1780 and coral steps were cut down through a hole in the roof, the blowhole, in 1912. It sits about six feet above the high water mark now even though the sea carved it at sea level, because the whole island is slowly rising. The coral floor is 400,000 to 500,000 years old, with younger patches around 126,000. It is named for its sea anemones, animal flowers locally, whose tentacles sting fish and snap back into the stump the moment anything touches them. On a calm day you can get in the rock pools and look out at the Atlantic through the cave mouth. St Lucy parish, Barbados.
