Description
Morphology
The mouth is located 4 metres below sea level, it is 2 metres high by 3.20 wide and after half a metre it allows us to poke our heads into an air bell. The gallery has a 10 metre passage until it closes.
Hydrology
The air bell is formed by the breaking of the waves against the wall, forming clouds of bubbles that sink to the interior of the cave. Since the floor of the cave is sand, the water quickly becomes murky.
History
The only news we have is that published by members of the SIRE – UEC Gràcia who explored and surveyed it in September 1997.
