Sea Lion Caves

Imagine a cave twice the size of a football field with Steller Sea Lions living their lives. You can hang out on the pathways and watch for whales.
(1306)

You can walk to the top of the cave for one of the best views on the Oregon Coast! We are the world's largest sea cave and the world's only year-round home to steller sea lions! If you're passing through on 101, stop in our gift shop and check us out. There is a charge to ride the 20 story elevator down to the cave but our guests are always satisfied!
