Sea Caves, Natural limestone caves at Governor's Beach, Gibraltar.
The Sea Caves feature multiple caverns formed by water erosion, extending from the shoreline into the limestone cliffs of the Mediterranean coast.
During World War II, military forces utilized these caves as strategic storage facilities for supplies and ammunition near Governor's Beach.
Scientific research in these caves has contributed to understanding geological processes and marine life adaptations in coastal cave environments.
Visitors can access the caves through guided tours that operate during low tide periods, with safety equipment and professional guides provided.
The cave system contains underwater sections where marine organisms create natural light effects through bioluminescence in darker chambers.
