About Davaar Island and Crucifixion Cave
Trek across the tidal causeway to discover a remote island cave featuring a remarkable 19th-century painting of Christ's crucifixion. This atmospheric coastal adventure suits older children and active families.
What visitors say
Enjoyed the walk across during low tide. A very rocky scramble to the Jesus painting so didn’t make that but walk to the lighthouse was good.

This was an awesome adventure and totally worth doing. I love tidal islands because of the thrill of waiting for the ocean to subside to access them. The hotel you’re in will know when it’s low tide. It’s almost a mile across the strand and it’s all pebbles and rocks so bring good shoes. They have highland cattle on the island! The walk around the right side to the Jesus cave is mostly bolder hopping but when you get to that 150-year old painting of Jesus in the cave - what an impact it makes! It felt very holy and you’ll have it all to yourself for meditation or prayer. Highly recommend.

Decided to finally visit. You have to be reasonably fit to first cross the shingle causeway, then navigate the stony beach to reach the cave with the crucifix painting. It's well worth it though
