Sdragonato, Sea cave in Bonifacio, France
Sdragonato is a sea cave carved into limestone cliffs near Bonifacio with a spacious entrance that allows boats to pass through into its interior chambers. The water extends deep inside, revealing the layered rock formations shaped over millions of years by erosion and wave action.
The cave formed through slow erosion of limestone by the Mediterranean Sea over millions of years. This geological process created the natural passage that exists today.
The cave has long served as a natural landmark for sailors from Bonifacio who navigated these waters. Visitors today can sense this maritime connection when traveling through its passages by boat.
Visits work best in calm weather when boat travel is safe and pleasant. Bring a camera as the lighting inside creates interesting contrasts, especially where natural light enters through openings.
The cave ceiling contains a natural opening that creates light filtering down and reflecting off the water below. This optical effect occurs best at certain times of day, creating moments visitors often miss on first viewing.
