A lower intertidal rift cave with a relatively tall triangular entrance, facing roughly SSE. The width at entrance is 3.2 m. It has an inner tunnel which was not navigable at a tide level of 3.5 m ACD.

Access: by sea from Newtonhill Bay. Note that you should park W of the railway viaduct so that trolley wheels are helpful for a 500 m tow.

Links and Resources:

Photo 1 the entrance to this cave is about 1/4 from the left. There may be a small supratidal cave just right of centre.
Photo 2 shows the entrance from closer to.
Photo 3 inside with a tide level of 3.5 m ACD. There is clearly an inner tunnel - but to measure its length requires a low tide visit and probably a landing.
