PlaceS of Interest
Animal Flower Cave
In Saint Lucy parish on the northern tip of the island you’ll find the Animal Flower Cave, which got
its name from the extraordinary abundance of sea anemones in the cave’s pools. Guided tours allow
visitors to explore many of the pools and they can even wade in some of the larger ones. Visitors
will see how oxidized minerals draw lifelike shapes on the walls. Openings in those walls allow for
photographic views of the Caribbean Sea. Above the caves, visitors can sit on the benches while
enjoying more panoramic views of the coast.
