Not only is it dangerous to try, but it will also result in not being able to view this beauty. So make sure to plan your trip accordingly so you can visit at the lowest tide.
To reach the cave you’ll have to navigate over some slippery rocks. This trek is not a long one, but the slick rocks can be risky so make sure to bring the appropriate shoes to navigate the path.
