A small, only just intertidal cave with a wide - 6.9m - low entrance.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: by land at low tide. Note that access from what was the fishing station nearby to E is discouraged by the present owner (of Rock Hall on the inset map). This may mean going down nearer St Cyrus and going along the very rocky foreshore which gets cut off as the tide rises.

Links and Resources:

Not an OS dot, but 'caves' indicated generally.
Photo 1 shows this cave (5) on the left and (6) on the right. The whitish stuff is foam formed by wave action on late autumn sea biological material and blown by the onshore wind.
Photo 2 looking into this cave.
Photo 3 another view of the cave taken from further NE. Note the waterfall just visible on the left which goes down just to the right of cave (4).
