The N entrance leads into a lowish tunnel which ends in the N (RH) beach which you see if you look into the S entrance. The floor of this tunnel is solid conglomerate and has shallow rockpools with some finely coloured growths in them.
From the sea, it is not obvious that the two entrances belong to the same cave.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: See entry for S entrance.
