A shallow cave at the mouth of the Kaaimans River, just below the iconic railway bridge that for decades carried the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe steam train. The grotto sits at sea level on the rocks beneath the road bridge; a flight of concrete steps leads down to it.
Inside, the cave has been converted into a quiet shrine of sorts — a simple altar, religious icons, painted figures of the Virgin Mary, and over the years a small accumulation of objects left by visitors. It is not an official site and there is no signage explaining its origin. The combination of crashing surf, the curve of the cave, and the eccentric devotion of the contents makes for a memorable five-minute stop. Time it with low tide; at high water the entrance can be partly submerged.
