Halls harbour sea cave

Seasons: spring winter fall summer.

Typically sea caves are formed along a weakness in the rock, like faults, different sediments or weaker layers. Faults in the rock sometimes produce chains of caves, everywhere the fault reaches the sea shore. Already existing caves are opend by the coastal erosion and the water starts to widen the cave. Typically those caves are karst caves. Many karst areas at the coast have caves opening to the sea, where the entrance is widenend by the waves.

The type of host rock is important as well. Right at the corner the small cave opens up behind the fall.

Hall's Harbour is a picturesque fishing community located along the shore of the Bay of Fundy, in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It lends its name both to the small fishing hamlet and to the wider community which takes up an area roughly 5 kilometers square. On the south, the area overlooks the Annapolis Valley, on the north overlooks the Bay of Fundy, on the east Sheffield Vault and on the west Chipman Brook. The area is very scenic and the hamlet itself has been declared a Nova Scotia Tourism Destination Area. The Harbour boasts a fine restaurant and lobster pound, artists studios, antiques and artisans galleries.

Of course, it helps if the rock is weaker, less resistant against erosion. Last Updated: Many karst areas at the coast have caves opening to the sea, where the entrance is widenend by the waves. By far the majority of sea caves consist of a single passage or chamber. The rocks on the large outcrop are covered by seaweed and are especially slippery. The next part of the hike is easier to do close to the low tide water level as the upper beach is covered by boulder size rocks that are extra slippery. The water swashing into the sea cave builts up a high pressure inside the cave, which emerges in form of water and air out of the small hole. Basaltic caves can penetrate far into cliffs where most of the surface erodes relatively slowly. Advertising with Us. Add GPS. There are no Trackables in this cache.

In weaker rock, erosion along a relative zone of weakness may not greatly outstrip that of the cliff face. What are Trackable Items? Seasons: spring winter fall summer.
