Animal Flower Cave, Natural sea cave in Saint Lucy Parish, Barbados
The cave features coral floors formed between 400,000 and 500,000 years ago, with several openings providing views across the Atlantic Ocean.
Two English explorers discovered the cave in 1780, and in 1912 workers constructed stone steps leading to its entrance for visitors.
The name originates from the yellow sea anemones inhabiting the cave pools, which local residents have long called Animal Flowers.
The cave welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM, with entrance fees of 40 Barbadian dollars for adults.
The German Geographical Institute documented ancient coral formations in the cave ceiling where sailors once mounted lanterns for illumination.
