David’s Hole, a natural swimming pool, is a geological marvel carved out of the seabed. It is an ancient collapsed cave that has been eroded into two arches by the force of the swell. When the sea is rough, the site resembles a cauldron of boiling water. Also known as Devil’s Hole, this geological curiosity resulted from the collapse of a huge underwater chamber that formed fifty million years ago. Under the volcanic thrust of the Miocene period, the seabed was raised closer to the water’s surface and submerged rock was uncovered.
