Sea Lion Caves: Dim, smelly cavern is a natural wonder

FLORENCE, Ore.
As the name Sea Lion Caves says, this cave is used by the Sea Lions.
The cave itself is a huge sea cave at the dramatic Oregon coastline.
In the Sea Lion Caves region lives a herd of 200 Northern sea lions or
Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus).
Sea Lion Caves has just one attraction: a giant cave, filled with a
couple hundred (more or less on any given day) sea lions.
Sea Lion Caves is just south of the famous Heceta Head Lighthouse. You
can see it in the distance; in the foreground is the upper end of the
elevator shaft, that takes you down 208 feet to the world's largest
sea cave.
For those reasons, I passed by Sea Lion Caves on Day 2, as
I headed south, and I almost did it again on Day 8. But, at the last
minute, I decided to give in, hold my nose, and check it out. Finally,
I had made the right decision.

We decided to check out Sea Lion Caves. $7.50 each to see what you see
below. I think it was worth doing once.
Once in the Sea Lion Caves, there is no time limit. You can walk up to
a fenced area and admire the Sea Lions for hours. You and your little
ones are protected by a fenced-off area.

My wife and I did the Sea Lion Caves on a foggy day on the coast. The
only reason we did the caves was because we couldn't see the
coastline. I forget the price, but I felt like after we were finished,
it was overpriced.
The Sea Lion Caves is exactly what it sounds like - a large sea cave
filled with hundreds of sea lions.
4) We have now visited the "largest natural sea lion caves in the
world," so we can cross this off our list.
5) We have contributed fundage to sea lion conservation.
