The Romantic Cave, Tiwi, Oman

The Romantic Cave, Tiwi

Beautiful enough to name, dangerous enough to respect.

A sea cave in the cliffs by Tiwi's pebble beach, light bouncing off turquoise water inside dark rock. It is genuinely stunning and genuinely unforgiving: swell funnels into the entrance, and the rocks give you nothing to hold.
