Sea Lion Caves
The Sea Lion Caves (the world's largest Sea Cave according to Guinness) are located appx. 11 miles north of Florence and offers an awe-inspiring, intimate view of Sea Lions in their natural habitat. Descend over 200-feet into the world's largest and most spectacular sea cave. The cave is the home of the wild steller sea lion, primarily during the fall and winter months and is called the hauling area. The rock ledge below the lookout located just outside the cave is the sea lions home during the spring and summer, and is where they breed and bear their young. Sea lions live at Sea Lion Caves year round.

Tourist stop-Sea Lion Cave
This is not Sea World so don’t expect to find an abundance the sea lions in the cave. It is still worth the trip and admission price. The view is breathtaking-from the unique view of Heceta Head Lighthouse, to the rocky cliffs and pounding surf below. The souvenir shop is kitchy, but would you expect anything less?
Yes, it is very “touristy”, but it’s definitely one of the places everyone should visit once
