東尋坊是一段長達1公里的垂直柱狀玄武岩峭壁,高聳於日本海之上20至30公尺——這是全球僅有三處此類地質構造之一(另外兩處是愛爾蘭的巨人堤道與韓國濟州島)。這些六角形玄武岩柱形成於1200至1300萬年前,當時火山熔岩快速冷卻,收縮成今日所見的精確幾何柱體。海浪的侵蝕,將崖底雕鑿出海蝕洞與孤立岩塔,隨著光線與濕度變化,呈現從鏽紅到深灰的色澤。
崖頂步道能俯瞰下方翻騰的海水——沒有護欄、沒有柵欄,只有岩石與虛空。冬季(12月至2月),日本海的寒流會掀起5公尺高的巨浪,猛烈拍打在柱狀岩上,激起的白色水花在500公尺外的內陸都清晰可見。觀光船(¥1,500,30分鐘)從下方小港出發,從海面接近崖底,展示從上方看不見的海蝕洞與地質結構。
