Small cave located on the coast of Cascais near Boca do Inferno (translated from Portuguese "Mouth of Hell"). Has a maximum depth of 10mts.
Its entrance is located in a small sandy bottom bay developing westward with a second open sea opening, which due to its exposure to the ondulation and low depth should not be used as a means of access or exit.
With an extension of about 10mts and reduced height, it is wide enough to allow an easy entry and exit, while requiring good buoyancy control.
This cave is distinguished especially by the abundant existence of marine life with special attention to its colony of Barnacles.
