  7. The Multicoloured Rainbow Cave

 

To get to this stunning cave, you have to scramble down a steep, 200 metre face at the far end of a remote beach. It’s a mission, but once you’re inside, you realize this isn’t your typical dark sea cave. The walls are covered in these wild greens and pinks that make the whole place look like it’s been painted. Those colors aren’t actually the rock itself. They’re living layers of algae and moss that thrive in the damp, salty air.

Just a heads-up…the tidal surges can be dangerous, and you’ll often find a couple of seals lounging on the sand. They can be pretty territorial, so keep your distance and don’t get between them and the water.
