Sea Caves
Sea Caves are created from the ocean attacking
zones of weakness in Coastal sea cliffs. Sea
caves are one of the most numerous types of caves
all over the world. The largest groups of sea
caves are found in Washington, Oregon,
California, the Na Pali coast of Kauai, and the
Greek Isles. Some of the only ways to get in the
sea caves though are with kayaks or other small
boats, by swimming in, or by wading or walking if
the cave empties out at low tide.
