A
Beautiful Sea Caves in the world
Mother Nature sure knows how to show off with these beautiful sea caves around the world.
Blue Brotto --- Capri, Italy
The Blue Brotto in Capri, Italy is perhaps one of the most well-known sea caves in the world. In 1826, it was rediscovered by three men, and has been open to the public ever since. The best time to visit the Blue Grotto is between 12 and 2 p.m., because the blue color from the sunlight entering through the underwater opening is the strongest then.
Benagil Cave ---Portugal
Located in the small fishing village of Benagil on the south coast of Portugal, this beautiful cave is another well-known sight. Boat tours fill up fast here, so it’s important to book in advance. If you’re a strong swimmer, and it’s low tide, you can even swim into the cave. There, you can take a break and relax on the sand and watch the sun illuminate (照亮) the water around you.
Marble Caves --- Chico, Chile
Located in the Patagonian Andes on a peninsula in the center of Lake General Carrera, the Marble Caves in Chico, Chile can only be reached by boat. The surrounding clear waters allow visitors to see the rock formations (构造) beneath them while the rock ceilings above change color, which depends on the water levels and the season. The best time to visit: during sunrise and sunset and when the sun illuminates the cave walls. It can be a special experience to remember.
Ana Kakenga --- Easter Island, Chile
Ana Kakenga is the most-visited cave on Easter Island. To visit the cave, you must enter through a small hole in the ground, which measures slightly less than two feet wide. As you could imagine, the entrance is very difficult to find without a tour guide. After you enter the 164-foot-long volcanic tube, you’ ll find two naturally formed windows looking over the water.
