Whiterocks' soft, sedimentary rocks have been sculpted over centuries into a labyrinth of caves and arches. Iconic headlands, such as Shelagh's Head, the Wishing Arch, Elephant Rock, and the Lion's Paw, majestically rise out of the ocean. Beneath the road, you'll find cavernous caves accessible only by sea, home to seabirds and a hunting ground for hawks.
