The Grotto

The Grotto it not quite a blowhole, not quite an arch, and not quite a cave – but it’s a bit of everything. The Grotto is a naturally carved out cave which stands up about halfway from sea level up the cliff. The paved pathway leads to a decked staircase that descends into a viewing area that is blocked off by a wall, preventing access further into the Grotto. What lies beyond is an area covered with smooth boulders that leads to rock pools carved out in the worn but jagged edged limestone. (Peterborough, Victoria, Australia)
