History


Description

Special facilities: restaurant, club, shop etc. Access to three personal beaches, and 40 ha of headland walks with picnic spots etc.

As will be appreciated from the wealth of special facilities above, these caves are an amenity offered as part of an overall holiday centre, and as such they offer extremely good value for money.

They consist of three short sea caves, with very imposing entrances, and great fun may be had, exploring the caves and having a picnic in the caves or on the beach.
