Sea cliffs are an impressive testament to nature’s strength and force. Composed of rock formations that tower above the ocean, these natural monuments are strikingly gorgeous.
This type of cliff can be found on every continent on Earth. Here are our picks for some of the most impressive ones on the planet.
Cliffs of Moher: County Clare, Ireland
Perhaps the best-known sea cliffs on Earth are these giant rock structures overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Ireland’s west coast. On a clear day, the view of the shale and sandstone cliffs, the green landscape, and the blue ocean is unforgettable.
Kalaupapa Cliffs: Hawaii, USA
These cliffs are the highest sea cliffs on Earth and are located on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. Towering over 2,000 feet above the surface of the Pacific Ocean, these cliffs are protected as part of a United States Historical Park.
Bunda Cliffs: South Australia
Beautiful sea cliffs can also be found in the Southern Hemisphere, as can be seen at the Bunda Cliffs in Australia. These are the longest uninterrupted stretch of sea cliffs in the world, extending for nearly 100 miles.
Cliffs of the Giants: Tenerife, Spain
These cliffs are located on the Spanish island of Tenerife and truly look fit for giants. Formed by volcanic activity, these giants tower impressively over the Atlantic coast on the western side of the island.
