Underwater at Beauty Cave

Beauty Cave

Little Liuqiu Island · Taiwan

Beauty Cave is a series of sea-eroded caverns and tunnels cut into Little Liuqiu's coral limestone cliffs, forming an atmospheric underwater maze that opens between 6 and 15 meters depth. The cave chambers are packed with resting soldierfish, glassy sweepers, and shimmering clouds of silverside baitfish that part around entering divers in synchronized waves. Outside the cave entrances, the overhanging walls host nudibranchs, sea cucumbers, and slipper lobsters that make this the island's best macro dive.
