Next to Maingon Lookout is the 'Remarkable Cave'. The pathway includes about 130 steps down to the cave at low tide. The cave is carved out of sandstone.
We didn't venture down all of those stairs so the photos are off the internet and credit goes to the owners of these photos and a big thank you.
It's amazing how different light and cameras produces a very different colours. It's to be noted the the tide comes in very quickly in the cave and therefore fills up with sea water.
Great photos of the cave Margaret. Now that would be fun to walk through.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to walk through, would have done it when younger.
DeleteUnderstand completely. I would be the same way.
Delete:)
DeleteFantastico posto, una grotta bellissima, complimenti per le foto trovate, molto belle. Ciao un abbraccio Angelo.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely photos Angelo and I am grateful to those that took them.
DeleteThis is simply beautiful, amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
You are welcome, I thought it's a lovely place in that cave and was worth showing.
DeleteEs maravilloso el lugar, pero muy dificultosa la bajada. Los escalones además pueden estar desgastados por efecto de la erosión.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
What you say is very true, and steps not to be taken lightly, there weren't steps there when I was younger.
DeleteGosh...this is beyond beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlorious place down in that cave.
DeleteThose photos show the beauty of the place.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do Bill, different times of day different effect.
DeleteWow - though I doubt I would be brave enough to go inside.
ReplyDeleteI would go inside the cave if I could get down those steps and back up again EC.
Delete'Remarkable Cave' certainly is a good name :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these photographs.
What an amazing place.
All the best Jan
You are welcome Jan, looks so beautiful down in the cave.
DeleteWow what a cool looking cave I do like looking at caves been through a number of them here in Aus and in NZ
ReplyDeleteFascinating are caves Jo-Anne, haven't been in one for a long time...you are lucky to have been in many.
DeleteThis would be the cave I want to visit for sure. So stunning!
ReplyDeleteYes, you would certainly enjoy taking photos down there and in there...oneday you might get to.

DeleteWow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesuch a wondaful photos of intriguing cave dear Margaret !

never saw such interesting cave by myself but only on geographic or other shows but not as neat and long wow i am so impressed and happy i could see it :)
Certainly a beautiful cave Baili. The photos are lovely too and show the cave at it's near best.
DeleteI would derive a great deal of pleasure from exploring in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would David, as I would if younger :)
DeleteIt's just mind blowing!
ReplyDeleteSeeing it for the first time sure does make a big impression on one Duta.
DeleteGood heavens - Tassie verses Capri, Italy.
ReplyDeleteMore water in the Italian one but maybe it was low
tide at the Tassie version ?
I think I'd be carefully considering the steps down,
coming back up I'd require a hoist !!!!
Cheers
Colin
Yes, Tassie version tide out, apparently the tide comes in quickly. I couldn't get down those steps, well maybe slowly but not back up them.
DeleteI want to visit it.
ReplyDeleteMake you want to go down there John seeing the photos of the cave.
DeleteWhat a wonderful place - I would have loved to go exploring in there.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful to do so Rosemary.
DeleteWow! what a cave!
ReplyDeleteIt's magic, isn't it!
DeleteEl lugar se ve maravilloso, me gusta mucho. Un abrazo Margaret.

ReplyDeleteMaravilloso lugar. Hemos visitado algunas y da gusto conocerlas. Gracias Margaret
Buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
All are different and each cave beautiful in it's own right.
DeleteThanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
You are welcome and thank you.
DeleteWow! Stunning! I prefer looking at the photos, though. I doubt I'd enjoy physically going down into the cave!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger and able to walk down those steps and back up again I hadn't heard of that particular cave - pity though.
DeleteAmazing! I have no idea how this cave was made.
ReplyDeleteI asked that question after you did, the answer is: The tunnel-shaped cave was formed through years of torment from crashing waves, eventually causing a wall of the sandstone cave to collapse and create the tunnel that stands today.
DeleteI always have a fear at the thought of caves, and if you write fast tide, I don't think I would go down there. Great pictures, it must be a great experience to be there...
ReplyDeleteIf it was me going down there I would go when the tide has gone out nearly all the way, have a look, take photos and then run towards the steps.
