Eden Rock & Devil's Grotto
Grand Cayman · Cayman Islands
Eden Rock and the adjacent Devil's Grotto are a labyrinthine cave and tunnel system along Grand Cayman's south coast, entered from a sandy beach and requiring no boat. Natural skylights and fissures flood the chambers with cathedral shafts of light, silhouetting schools of silversides that pack the caves in summer months so densely they brush against divers' masks. The site is suitable for open-water divers and offers one of the most photogenic underwater light shows in the Caribbean.
