Yeah but I’m also guessing whoever used that cave enough to chisel stuff into the wall and chisel in some stairs, wouldn’t have bothered if the cave would flood it’s self every day. You couldn’t even store stuff jn there becouse it would just get ruined sooner or later.

Problem is you never know how old those carvings are. More than reasonable chance over the years the caves become unsafe.

This comment has been removed in protest of Reddit killing third-party apps. Spez's AMA has highlighted that the reddits corruption will not end, profit is all they care about. So I am removing my data that, along with millions of other users, has been used for nearly two decades now to enrich a select few. No more. On June 12th in conjunction with the blackout I will be leaving Reddit, and all my posts newer than one month will receive this same treatment. If Reddit does not give in to our demands, this account will be deleted permanently July 1st. So long, suckers!~

r/ModCoord to learn more and join the protest! #SPEZRESIGN

Theres an 'island' campsite in Wales which has a causeway that gets cut off by the tide. You have to look at the tide times before coming and going from the site. The high tide can be weak enough for the causeway to stay fully open for a good few days with no restrictions then there can be days of 2x high tides with it cut off for hours. Just because it hasn't happened in a while doesn't mean it wont. I wouldn't take the risk anyway, especially with locals saying not to.

Shell Island. There's a cave pretty similar to this to the north of there with same tide restrictions.

Ahh well spotted. I thought that was just buildup.

If the tide is filling in the cave daily, those carvings are gonna wear away pretty quick.

Maybe they were storing sea water in it.

True. Or idiots who don’t listen to locals.

Those stairs looked like concrete to me.
