While on the steep shores of the island there are many caves, the most famous being this one. It's located at the starboard on the entrance to the U. Balun on the E side of the island. The approach to the cave is only possible by boat. It is 18 meters long, 6 meters deep, and 6 meters high. The entrance to the cave is only 1.5 meters high and 2.5 meters wide. During the summer between 10 am and 1 pm, sunbeams penetrate through the submarine opening in Blue Cave and are reflected from the white bottom floor, coloring the cave blue and objects in the water silver. The paid entrance to the cave is controlled by the Nautički centar Komiža (see near the bottom of the page). As per 2018 it's 100 Kn in season and 70 Kn off season per capita.
