Our Mermaid Journey

​Sasha has always been fascinated by the magic of mermaids and the ocean, growing up on the beaches of Cornwall she began collecting shells as a small child and now is a proud owner of thousands and thousands of rare and unique seashells from around the world.
​
In 2022 The Mermaid Cave concept was formed in Sasha's quirky little mind abit like Disneys famous Ariel having a cave full of human treasures, Sasha wanted a cave full of mermaid treasures, to share her collection with everyone and educate the next generation of the importance of seashells and the molluscs that make them. 
​
Not many people thought Sasha's idea was a viable one, some said it was crazy, some stupid and some just didnt get the concept but Sasha had her mind set and wasnt going to back down!
​
Sasha spent a long time convincing her wife to go along with her plans, but eventually Georgia got into the spirit of things!
Next was finding a premises and convincing the real estate and owners of the building that she could pull this off!
​
We completely gutted the building with the owners help and support and we rebuilt from the ground up, we had to quickly learn lots of new skills and how to use power tools!
There were many many late nights and lots of tears and tantrums but we accomplished everything Sasha had dreamed of.
​
Our cave collection grows every year with thousands more shells being added, aquariums, microscopes and lots of different art workshops and parties with real mermaids!

In Feb 2026 we closed our other business Mermaid Cafe in order to focus on what we enjoy, which is sharing the Cave and its wonders with you! By closing the cafe which was right next door we were able to double the size of our Cave collection adding lots of exciting new features and creatures!
