Animal Flower Cave information


View from inside the cave looking out to the ocean

The Animal Flower Cave is located under the cliffs at North Point, St. Lucy, Barbados. It is the island's lone accessible sea cave. It was discovered by its seaward entrance in 1780 by two English explorers. The cave stands six feet above the high water mark although it was formed at sea level. This has occurred because Barbados is rising at 1 inch per 1000 years.

There are coral steps which lead down through an opening in the roof (former blowhole) into the cave, these steps were built in 1912.[1] Inside the cave, still found are some sea anemones, which are locally called animal flowers, whence the cave obtained its name.
