Waves pounding against the entrance to a sea cave Sea Caves
 
Sea caves are formed by the action of waves pounding against rocks that line the shores of oceans and larger lakes. Sea caves are evidence of the enormous power of waves. Sea caves may be further modified and enlarged by wave-carried sand and gravel.
 
The following is a partial list of National Park Service units that include sea caves:
 
Acadia National Park,
