Crusoe Cave is a sea cave on Crown Point,[1] on the island of Tobago in Trinidad and Tobago. The cave is named for the titular main character of the 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe by English writer Daniel Defoe.[2] In the novel, Crusoe is shipwrecked on an unnamed island described as within sight of Trinidad; it is believed by some that Crusoe's island was based on Tobago.[3][4] The cave has been referred to by this name as early as 1890.[5]

The cave can be visited on foot.[3] It fills with water during high tide, and is therefore best viewed during low tide.[3] There are some fossils found in the limestone of the cave.[6][7] The land where the cave sits is privately owned, but can usually be accessed for a nominal fee.[4][8]
