Guided tour of the Green Grotto Caves

🕳️ Green Grotto Caves are a captivating network of limestone caverns located in Discovery Bay, St. Ann, on Jamaica’s north coast. Named for the green algae that coat their walls, these caves are famous for:

  • Striking geology: A flank margin cave system with two distinct levels, shaped by ancient sea level changes.
  • Underground lake: A crystal-clear subterranean lake lies deep within the cave’s innermost chamber.
  • Rich history: Used by Arawak Indians, Spanish settlers, escaped slaves, smugglers, and even as a rum storeroom during WWII.
  • Wildlife: Home to several bat species and marine life in its brackish waters.
  • Pop culture fame: Featured in the James Bond film Live and Let Die as the villain’s lair.
