Sunny Jim's Sea Cave

San Diego, United States

Sunny Jim's Sea Cave is a unique grotto accessible by climbing down a man-made tunnel from a store above. Excavated in 1903 by Chinese laborers using picks and shovels, it's the only sea cave in La Jolla accessible by land. Visitors find themselves amidst sandstone walls illuminated by sunlight filtering through the ocean entrance.
