Shihmen Cave(Arch bridge)

石門洞,是石門鄉引以為傲的顯著地標,也是石門鄉名的出處。早在清乾隆的『台灣輿圖』中,這座經年由海浪雕鑿的海雕石門,就已經成為北台灣的海岸線上的標記。日人據台時,將此地命名為『石門庄』,一直到台灣光復,仍以『石門』為鄉里定名迄今。由古至今,人們行經此地,佇足仰望著石門洞的雄偉,奇特的海蝕地形,就曾經讓當時前來的日人大為驚嘆,並且在民國23年時,頒定為『天然紀念物』。現今還留存在的石洞旁的碑文,就此說明了人們對它的讚嘆。而狀呈圓拱的石門洞,不僅以它深厚的歷史意義,為人們所津津樂道,更是因為記錄了大地的蛻變,令人備感驚奇。

東北季風與夏季頻繁來襲的颱風,掀起一陣陣高漲的浪潮,並付予了浪花強勁的侵蝕能量,長年的拍打侵蝕,由最初的海蝕溝成為海蝕洞,並演變至現今所見的海蝕門。雖然是海蝕作用所形成,但是石門洞的位置卻明顯的高於海平面,那是因為受到近期隆起運動的影響,早已使得石門洞高出海平面十幾公尺,成為大地變動的有力見證。
