Our Adventure Stop at Sea Lion Cave in Florance Or was Great
the girls rated this a 5 ⭐️Stop
Sea Lion Caves were discovered in 1880 by a local seaman, Captain William Cox, who entered the grotto through the western channel in a small boat on a calm day. He reportedly returned to explore the caves a number of times and on one occasion was marooned for several days because of stormy weather and rough ocean. He reportedly sustained himself by shooting a young sea lion and eating the meat of its flippers. Regardless of the incident’s authenticity, it is established that Captain Cox purchased the land in 1887 from the State of Oregon. His family owned the property until 1926
