Animal Flower Cave

Natural Wonder · North · St. Lucy

Rating: 4.6 / 5

Animal Flower Cave is Barbados' only accessible sea cave, carved out of the coral limestone cliffs at North Point in St. Lucy at the northernmost tip of the island. Visitors descend stone steps into the cavern to find natural rock pools, shafts of daylight piercing through cliff openings and sea anemones, the 'animal flowers' that give the cave its name, waving in shallow pools. Above ground a clifftop restaurant and bar offer spectacular ocean views, and whales are sometimes spotted off the headland in season.

About culture in Barbados

Barbados has over 400 years of recorded history, from Amerindian settlement through British colonialism to its 2021 transition to a republic. The UNESCO World Heritage Garrison Historic Area, Harrison's Cave, and St. Nicholas Abbey are must-visit cultural sites. The island's food culture, calypso music tradition, chattel house architecture, and rum heritage make it one of the most culturally rich islands in the Caribbean.
