Sunset Cliffs Cave is a stunning geological formation located near San Diego, California. Exploring this sea cave is an amazing experience that should not be missed out on while traveling down the southwestern California coastline. This adventure takes some preparation, with visitors needing to make sure they visit during a negative tide to ensure their safety. Visitors can admire the majestic view of the Pacific Ocean from the front opening of the cave and soak in the beauty of the sky from its giant hole at the top. It's a photographer's dream - especially when the sun sets, illuminating the cave with hues of pink, orange, and red. To truly enjoy the Sunset Cliffs Cave, visitors must pay attention to the tide charts, wear sturdy shoes, and prepare for potentially wet socks.
