This impressive sea cave is well worth a visit. It's a pleasant 1km walk to reach the cave – the last section involves uneven steps and a bit of rock-hopping. The main entrance is only accessible at low tide, but you can scramble through a hole in the back of the cave to get a glimpse if the tide is coming in. To get there, follow the signs marked ‘Grot’ (cave) south of Roman Beach.
