Location: It lies on the shore of the Kiyiköy Village. It can be reached by the Kirklareli-Vize-Vizeköy motorway.
Geography and Environment: Located 2 m high from the sea level; it is a semi-active spring cave. It was formed as a result of corrosion by an underground creek reaching the shore and waves. Being 4-8 m wide and 0.5-6 m high; the transversal profile of the cave is zig zag depending on the extension and thickness of layers. With big blocks in the entrance zone; there are piles of pebbles and sand inside. The underground creek inflowing from the narrow fracture at the end brings in substantial amount of sand.
