Saipan's Grotto
A natural cavern connects with the ocean through submerged openings.
The story behind the place
Saipan's Grotto is a natural sinkhole linked to the sea by three submerged tunnels. Its changing blue light comes from that relationship between the enclosed space and open ocean. The site is a distinctive coastal formation whose physical connections can be explored through careful observation, while strong currents make its waters hazardous.
