Florence - June 28th - Sea Lion Caves

World's Largest Sea Cave - The Treasure of the Oregon Coast. Wild and Natural Sea Lion Habitat! http://www.sealioncaves.com . Formation of these marvelous caves began over 25 million years ago. The interior now soars to the height of a 12-story building and stretches the full length of a football field. Great care is taken to avoid disturbing these magnificent creatures or their habitat. The stellar sea lion is a warm-blooded mammal which gives birth, nurses its young, and must breathe air. Sea Lion bulls, when fully grown, can weigh up to a ton. Since these sea lions are wild, they are unpredictable. They frequently make their home in the cave and/or the rock ledge just outside the cave.
