Ocean Cave
Sea caves also known as littoral caves, is a type of cave which is mainly formed by the action of sea. The primary process involved is erosion. Sea caves are found throughout the world. Matainaka cave, on the Otoga coast of New Zealand’ South Island, has been verified as the world's largest sea cave in length 1.54km or 5.051feet, by a survey in October 2012.

Who Lives in Sea Caves?
Sea caves are brimmed with life, both on their floors and walls. Such as anemones, starfish and sponges, living under these sea caves with dark zones may harbour organisms not commonly seen in shallow water.

Avila Sea Caves
Cave Landing Beach is not easily accessible since it’s a hidden gem and thus makes it difficult for one to reach below cave landing in Avila beach CA. Most of the visitors to the Cave Landing parking will make an effort towards the downside of the main trail that leads to Pirates Cove Beach and the best known cave which is actually a tunnel. This tunnel has many nicknames including Smugglers Cave, leads to a viewpoint that looks west toward Port San Luis and the three piers of Avila Beach. This outlook also looks down on a small beach that appears nearly impossible to reach. Well it seems challenging but there is actually a way down.
Back at the parking lot there exists a trail just to the south of the main trail, in close proximity to the ocean, that heads in the same direction as the main trail but then drops down towards the ocean shore. It leads to a point at which a fixed rope is generally in place to provide the necessary support in descending a steep and the cliff. Remember that this descent is not possible without a rope particularly for those of us that are not technical climbers. If the rope is weakened or if one does feel convenient with rappelling, then they should not attempt the downward climb. While performing, wear shoes with good traction help.
How Long is Avila Beach?
Avila Beach consists of 3 piers i.e: Avila Beach Pier, 1,685 feet (514m) in length, and the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly SLO) Pier, part of the university’s marine research program, is not publicly accessible.
Not long ago, the pier was enhanced to be the site for whale watching as numbers of grays and humpback whales come into bays around the pier to feed and draw crowds during the seasons.
The Avila Beach Pier got a call to attention in a Super Bowl advertisement on February 7, 2010. Avila Beach was the primary shooting location for California films.
The beach measures less than 0.5 miles (0.8 km) long and is firmly based in San Luis Bay, which is formed by Point San Luis on the west and Fossil Point on the east. Avila Beach faces south and an elevation of 600 foot point at San Luis breaks the prevailing northwesterly winds. It is relatively warmer than the other beaches located on the central coast.
Meyers Beach Sea Caves
These are located in the North of Cornucopia, Wi. There are caves at the Northern end of Mawikwe bay and one caveat at the South end of Mawikwe bay. Meyers Beach Sea Cave trail is 4.6 mile. The trail offers a number of activity options and is rugged with stream crossings and steep slopes which is accessible year round. But in winter it may be snow packed or icy, where skiing is not recommended and use of snowshoes is difficult.
The mainland sea cave of the Apostle Island National Lakeshore, which are the similar caves that turned out to be the world's most popular ice cave in winter, are easy to reach via boat and hiking trail from Meyers Beach.
The Meyer’s Beach sea cave trail is extended through 2.3 miles of the Lakeshore Trail, which typically starts at the Meyer’s Beach parking lot near Cornucopia, Wisconsin. “The Bowl” is one of the best views of the hike.

FAQs on Sea Caves
Q1. What is a Coastal Cave?
Answer: Coastal caves are those that are developed along the coast as an outcome of the interaction with terrestrial and marine processes. Sea level can oscillate, both globally as well as domestically, and thus alters the site of coastal cave development through time. First, waves and salt attack on any rocky coast which turn up in simple hollows and chambers, called sea caves or littoral caves, in a variety of rock materials. Second, on limestone coasts, the dissolution of the rock by mixing the fresh water and sea water can create complex cave systems called flank margin caves. Blue holes also form in limestone coastal. Safe cave survey in any environment setting necessitates training and preparation, while flank margin caves are relatively safe, the exploration of sea caves and blue holes can be extremely dangerous even for those who experience it in a year.
Waves colliding against the base of a cliff can often form a sea cave. Sea caves also develop along a splinter in a rock or a region where the rock is softer. Since the abrasive action of waves is distilled at the base of the cliff, an overhang develops.
Q2. What is Cape Greco Sea Cave?
