St Michaels Cave, Natural cave in Avalon Beach, Australia

The limestone cave extends 110 meters in length, reaches 15 meters in height, and spans 10 meters in width within the coastal cliffs.

Reverend John Therry, the initial colonial owner, planned to establish a lecture space inside the cave and build a church above it.

The cave holds geological significance with its formation through the erosion of a Jurassic dyke over Triassic sedimentary rocks.

The cave entrance maintains restricted access due to safety concerns regarding falling rocks and requires permission from Pittwater Council for visits.

The dark chambers of the cave provide an essential breeding habitat for Common bent-wing bats and Large-eared pied bats.
