Up and down the coast here, there are a series of natural arches and caves in which seals love to sleep inside. You can go inside them if you have a kayak, but it's not safe to swim to them. You can see them from land as well like I did with these photos. Just be carful of the slippery rocks on you decent from the cliff.
From the guidebook on page 96, "San Diego, a California City": 99. The La Jolla Caves (open; adm. 25c), are mentioned in the Encyclopedia Americana as one of the most interesting sights in Southern-California. Oriinglaly the seven caves could only be reached from the water, but about 1905 a German professor, Gustav Schultz, cut a land cave entrance to the largest of the caves. Geologist sat that this is the only cave, with the exception of Fingal's Cave in Scotland, which has its peculiar stratification.
