Lobster Cave
Lobster Cave is a cave on Liuqiu Island, off Pingtung County, Taiwan.
Name
"Lobster Cave" is a calque of the cave's Chinese name. It supposedly derives from lobsters who lived there over a century ago that were driven out by the island's residents during a night raid.
Geology
The cave is limestone and coral, surrounded by coral reefs, potholes, and gullies. It is accessible at low tide.
