The park’s mountainous area extends to the sea, where a ria coast (submerged coastline), striking sea cliffs, caves and reefs have developed over countless millennia. In contrast are the park’s iconic sand dunes, including the famous Tottori Sand Dunes, which are formed by sand created by marine erosion and transported via rivers. Along with these distinctive landscapes, the varied distributions of rock consistency have also led the national park to be known as a "museum of coastal topography.” In 2010, the geological significance of San’in Kaigan was recognized internationally when San'in Kaigan Geopark become a certified member of the Global Geoparks Network. San'in Kaigan National Park is located in the heart of San'in Kaigan Geopark.
