Tips
When the roof of this cave collapsed it left behind an impressive stone arch and 330 foot (100 m) deep hole. Depending on the weather conditions, you may see a calm pool of water or, if you are lucky, a bubbling sea that resembles a large frying pan cooking up a devilish dish.

The Devil's Frying Pan was formed from the collapsed roof of a sea cave that left behind this fantastic rock arch.

You need to be brave or crazy enough to visit the Devil’s Frying Pan when the sea and the wind are up to really appreciate the name given to this place. There is a well placed bench to sit on to help you appreciate the view. Take care in the bad weather though.
