Grotto

He now realized that the walls of the cave had dissolved around him, and he was standing in a grotto behind the waterfall. [2, p. 171]

A grotto is a cave or cavern; I'm not sure if there is an actual distinction between a regular old cave and a grotto, though. But if you do a Google image search, it mostly turns up images of caves that are next to shorelines and filled with water. I suppose it is safe to assume that a grotto is a watery cave due to being near a body of water.
