This page contains information on caves, caverns and mines that are open to exploration throughout the state. Everything from sea caves off the Channel Islands and La Jolla to ancient lava tubes of dorment volcanoes are listed below. California also has a few mines that offer underground tours to the public and some are active mines that welcome you to take your findings home. Most caves and mines hover around 60 degrees year round, making these underground attractions a great place to cool off on a warm summer day.
