Visiting the Crystal Cave
Underground in Hamilton Parish, near the Castle Harbor, is what is known as Crystal Cave. 500 meters long and 62 meters deep, the cave was formed at a time when sea level was much lower. As sea levels rose several of the cave formations were submerged under water. The caves were discovered in 1905 when two 12-year-old-boys were searching for a lost cricket ball.
As you approach the area you’ll be surrounded by the tall palm trees and greenery. Once you enter the cave, you’ll see clear pools of water of every shape and size. In fact, the water is so clear that you can see crystal constructions 15 meters underwater.
