Looking back, we wouldn't have traded the time spent watching the sun set and the waves roll in off the Pacific for anything. This was easily one of the most serene moments of the trip. Seen at Sunset Cliffs Park.

Paid a visit to The Blowhole at Arbroath cliffs today, since we had a high spring tide combined with strong winds. Was rewarded with some good action. Daren't go any nearer tho as the spray had made the red sandstone cliffs slippy.
Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east.
This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, containing a variety of diverse landscapes from the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 7,100 feet.
Visitors will enjoy scenic views of towering cliffs and deep canyons. Paria Canyon offers an outstanding three to five day wilderness backpacking experience. The colorful swirls of cross-bedded sandstone in Coyote Buttes are an international hiking destination. There are also opportunities to view wildlife, including California condors. There are two developed campgrounds just outside the Monument: Stateline and White House. Dispersed camping is allowed outside the wilderness area in previously disturbed areas.
A permit is required for hiking in Coyote Buttes North (the Wave), Coyote Buttes South, and for overnight trips within Paria Canyon.

The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare. They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.
A small section of the cliffs along the Great Australian Bight.
The Great Australian Bight is a place of wilderness and natural beauty on the coastline of South and Western Australia. Its iconic curve has the longest line of sea cliffs in the world, stretching hundreds of kilometres and reaching up to 60 metres high.
As a change from Gannets (I have plenty more shots of those!), here are a few views of the Cliffs at Bempton. The RSPB nature reserve runs along a stretch of coastline, a couple of miles north of Flamborough Head and between the seaside resorts of Filey and Bridlington. There are several viewing platforms, looking over the cliffs and seabird colonies. The area is also rich in wildflowers.
More shots below - the main shot above, taken when we arrived, was taken with the 14-140. All the shots in the comment were taken with the 100-300 as by then, the clouds of tiny flies made me reluctant to change lenses.
Through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Congress designated the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) in Washington County, Utah “to conserve, protect, and enhance …the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historical, natural, educational, and scientific resources” of public lands in the NCA.
The Colorado Plateau, Great Basin Desert, and Mojave Desert overlap in Washington County. In this transition zone, unusual plant and animal species have evolved, including the dwarf bearclaw-poppy and Shivwits milk-vetch, small native plants that grow nowhere else on earth. The hot, arid Mojave Desert provides habitat for diverse wildlife, such as kit fox, Gambel’s quail, and the Mojave Desert tortoise. This native tortoise is listed under the Endangered Species Act and is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and other factors. The newly-designated Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas are also within this NCA. Here, hikers, backpackers, and equestrians can enjoy scenic vistas, solitude, and natural quiet, just a few miles drive from local communities.
More than 130 miles of non-motorized recreation trails (hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trail riding) are available for public use in the NCA. The Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers camping and day use areas, in a developed site where fees are collected. All motorized vehicle travel, including Off-Highway Vehicles, is limited to designated roads in the NCA. No motorized or mechanized vehicle travel is allowed in the Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas, without special authorization from BLM.

This is a common site along the Cornish coastline, huge lumps of cliff which have broken away from the mainland form islands on the beaches.
The Cliffs are 702 feet high at the highest point and range for nearly 5 miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
They are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds under the EU Birds Directive in 1986 and as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988.
Another attempt to remind anyone who has already been there of the monumental height of the surrounding canyon walls. Everyone visiting along the road and paths down in the bottom of the canyon finds themselves constantly looking up all around at the close, nearly vertical cliffs. So the park is very distinctly experienced in the neck. iPhone 6+ photo, edited slightly with PhotoWizard on an iPad Air.
Shipwrecks cliff.. Can cross that one off the list.

The impressive white limestone cliffs at Dingli on the south west coast of Malta.
No wonder people in this region of Malta decided on farming instead of fishing, they would have had to travel many miles to get down to the sea! Notice the small terraced patches of farmed land, on the steep hillside, this is very typical for the Dingli area - all arable land has been tilled or planted with almond or olive trees.
