Lobster Cave is a cave on Liuqiu Island,off Pingtung County,Taiwan.
"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]
The cave is limestone and coral,surrounded by coral reefs,potholes,and gullies. [2] It is accessible at low tide. [1]
