The coastline from Natural Bridges to the West (North) is a complex mixture of sea caves and carved cliff faces. You can start to see this terrain at Terrace Point where the Seymour Marine Discovery Center offers a small scale tour of sea life and this rock monolith on the beach at Younger Lagoon.

As the name Natural Bridges implies you’ll also find some rock arches like this beauty.

It’s a bucolic setting with farms and ranches along the coast and up into the hills, with a foot trail meandering along the cliffs.

Of course the rocks tell tales of ferocious storms carving these rocks for eons making for sea caves like this.

There are several lonely monoliths like this too, some quite large with interesting shapes.

Sea caves of all shapes and sizes abound, and in places like this the cliffs are closer to the water and interspersed with beaches.

In case you’re wondering, yes that’s a gathering a pinnipeds on the beach at the left. Here’s a closer look so you can decide whether they’re seals, sea lions, or elephant seals.
