Cathedral Caves

At Waipati Beach in the Catlins, New Zealand, you can find the Cathedral Caves, a limestone cave system that can be accessed only during low tides, after a pleasant 30-minute walk from the carpark 800 meters north-west of the placemark through typical New Zealand natural podocarp and kamahi forrest and over Waipati Beach itself.
In the current Google Earth imagery, the tide is just below it's highest point, which would leave the caves partially flooded.

a tidal chart, can be found at http://www.cathedralcaves.co.nz.
