Animal Flower Cave

Silhouetted people stand inside a dark sea cave whose wide opening frames turquoise ocean, with rock pools on the floor.

At the northern tip of the island, near where the Caribbean and Atlantic meet, you'll find this large waterside cave carved into a cliff face. It is accessed by a set of stairs that have been carved into a blowhole – there's no other way down the cliffs – and there's a pool inside for paddling. You'll be accompanied by a guide into the cave. Bring reef shoes if possible, but any old tennis shoes will also do the trick.

A visit here is appealing even for those who don't fancy a spot of spelunking. The sheer cliffs either side of the site are spectacular and the restaurant meals (B$38 to B$60) take full advantage of the location, with tables spread along the edge protected by a rope barrier.
