The rock formations are amazing..they look like they've been stirred with a spoon!...but this cliff has the best feature...a profile of a maiden looking out to sea.
As Cosper Wosper so cleverly suggested..it's a Rock Face...ha ha!
:)

in order to give this photo it,s full perspective look at the lower rocks jutting out and you will see some people standing on the edge, what a place to stand,

Varkala Cliffs, also known as 'Varkala formation', a unique sedimentary geo-morphological structure in an otherwise flat Kerala coast, adjacent to the Arabian Sea, considered a Geological Monument,
These tertiary sedimentary formation cliffs are a unique geological feature on the otherwise flat Kerala coast, and is known among geologists as Varkala Formation. There are numerous water spouts and spas on the sides of these cliffs.
The State Government of Kerala has initiated steps to protect the Varkala cliffs and make it a UNESCO Geo-Heritage Site. The first step, the Varkala Cliff will soon be declared a 'Geological Monument' under Geological Survey of India (GSI). The second step, the Varkala Cliff will soon be declared a 'National Geopark' under UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). So Varkala Cliff become India’s first National Geopark.
Location: Varkala, Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) District, Kerala State, India.

Mono Cliffs Provincial Park. It's not a big park but it tells of important geology along the Bruce Trail in Ontario.
I had a very pleasant hike here in cool fall weather. No bugs, no people, just me and my thoughts (and my camera).
A view from the side of Beechen Cliff towering over Bath. There's a fine barrier between yourself and the steep cliff below.
There is a lion in the cliff at St Abbs. He's a very sweet and happy lion too.
This place is truly wonderful.
Santorini, Greece.

Santorini (Greek: Σαντορίνη, pronounced [sandoˈrini]), classically Thera (English pronunciation /ˈθɪərə/), and officially Thira (Greek: Θήρα [ˈθira]), is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece's mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi) and a 2011 census population of 15,550. The municipality of Santorini includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiana. The total land area is 90.623 km2 (34.990 sq mi). Santorini is part of the Thira regional unit.[2]
Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. A giant central, rectangular lagoon, which measures about 12 by 7 km (7.5 by 4.3 mi), is surrounded by 300 m (980 ft) high, steep cliffs on three sides. The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia; the lagoon is connected to the sea in two places, in the northwest and southwest. The depth of the caldera, at 400m, makes it possible for all but the largest ships to anchor anywhere in the protected bay; there is also a fisherman harbour at Vlychada, on the southwestern coast. The island's principal port is Athinias. The capital, Fira, clings to the top of the cliff looking down on the lagoon. The volcanic rocks present from the prior eruptions feature olivine and have a small presence of hornblende.[3]
It is the most active volcanic centre in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, though what remains today is chiefly a water-filled caldera. The volcanic arc is approximately 500 km (310 mi) long and 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi) wide. The region first became volcanically active around 3–4 million years ago, though volcanism on Thera began around 2 million years ago with the extrusion of dacitic lavas from vents around the Akrotiri.
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (68 mi) to the south, through a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.[4]
