Sea cliffs are also called wave cut cliffs. Sea erosion cliffs and bedrock coasts often form steep cliffs along fault joints or bedding planes due to sea erosion and gravity caving. At the contact between the sea cliff and the high tide sea surface, sea caves are often formed.

After the sea caves gradually expand, the upper rocks lose their support and collapse to form steep cliffs, which are called sea cliffs. Here are ten of the most beautiful sea cliffs in the world.

1. Cliffs of Moher (Ireland)

The Cliffs of Moher, located on the west coast of Ireland, are the highest cliffs in Europe, with their highest point 214 meters above sea level in the Atlantic Ocean. The cliffs stretch for 8 kilometers along the west coast of Ireland. Many movies were filmed here, including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

2. Étretat Coast (France)

Étretat is a small town in France famous for its coast, often referred to as the "Elephant Trunk Coast".

3. Bonifacio (France)

Bonifacio is located at the southernmost tip of Corsica, across the sea from Sardinia, Italy. The ruins of fortresses are scattered around the ancient city of Bonifacio. The ancient city itself stands on a high and narrow headland, which is eroded by water and wind, forming a unique karst style.

There is a 1,500-meter-long curved coast on the seaside of the ancient city, forming a picturesque scenery.

4. Twelve Apostles (Australia)

The Twelve Apostles is a series of naturally formed limestone assemblages, of which there are currently seven. They are located along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia, in the Port Campbell National Park.

These stones are formed by the erosive action of ocean waves. As erosion progresses, old "disciples" continue to fall and new "disciples" continue to be formed.

5. The White Cliffs of Dover (UK)

White Cliffs of Dover is located in England, across the sea from Calais in France. The highest point of the cliff face reaches 110 meters. Its striking appearance is composed of streaks of chalk and black flint that spread from east to west.

6. Cape Mizen (Ireland)

Located in the Scarr region of Ireland, Cape Mizen is a unique half-angle area and a well-known fishing base in Ireland.

7. Big Sur (United States)

Big Sur is located in California, USA, along the famous California Highway 1 winding 140 kilometers. It was formed by the sudden rise of Mount St. Lucia from the Pacific Ocean. The Bixby Bridge in the photo was the largest single-arch concrete bridge in the world when it was completed in 1932.

Driving on Highway 1, with the vast Pacific Ocean on one side, the waves crashing against the sand and cliffs, and the rolling green mountains on the other side, it is very beautiful.

8. Navagio Beach (Greece)

Navagio Beach is located on the western Greek island of Zakynthos. There are azure waters and an old sunken ship lying quietly on the white sand. The ship, named "Panagiotis", was built in 1937 and became a unique sight after it ran aground and was abandoned here.

9. Benda Cliffs (Australia)

Stretching 90 kilometres along the Great Australian Bight, the Bunda Cliffs are one of the longest continuous sea cliffs in the world, reaching 120 metres at their highest point and made of limestone.

10. Paracas Cliffs (Peru)

Paracas Island in Peru is a desertified peninsula. On the sandy ground on the south side of the island, there is a 200-meter-wide prehistoric painting - the candelabra.
