Blue Grotto (Capri) This article is about the Blue Grotto in Capri. For other uses, see Blue Grotto (disambiguation). The Blue Grotto (Italian: Grotta Azzurra) is a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri, southern Italy. Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern.
This spot gained international fame after the legendary 1980 movie Blue Lagoon, with Brooke Shields as a teenage actress. It was also the location for a spectacular deep dive in 1954 by Jacques Cousteau as one of the first undersea explorers, when it was still called the Blue Hole. Years before, film stars and authors, such as Errol Flynn and Ian Fleming, already frequented the Blue Hole when they lived in nearby ports. More recently, Robin Williams was here during the film shoot of Club Paradise, and Robin Moore reportedly wrote the French Connection here.
