Lobster Cave is a cave on Liuqiu Island, off Pingtung County, Taiwan.

Name

"Lobster Cave" is a calque of the cave's Chinese name. It supposedly derives from lobsters who lived there over a century ago that were driven out by the island's residents during a night raid.[1]

Geology

The cave is limestone and coral, surrounded by coral reefs, potholes, and gullies.[2] It is accessible at low tide.[1]
