Trou David, Cave entrance in Saint-Martin, France.
The natural limestone cave entrance stretches 25 meters wide with vertical walls that descend into a deep underground chamber system.
The cave formation dates back fifty million years, when volcanic activity during the Miocene period lifted the seabed closer to the surface.
Local inhabitants named this geological formation both Trou David and Trou du Diable, referencing the water movements that created turbulent patterns inside.
Visitors can reach the cave entrance by following the coastal path between Red Bay and Pointe du Bluff, with clear signage marking the route.
The cave walls house a population of iguanas while the surrounding waters contain numerous tropical fish species and sea turtles.
