Green Grotto Caves
The Green Grotto Caves are show caves and a prominent tourist attraction on the north coast of Jamaica. Named for the green algae that cover its walls, the structure of the cave is strikingly different from inland systems; the cave is a flank margin cave with two well-defined levels apparently indicating two periods with differing sea levels.
