Are there any saltwater waterfalls?

No, all rivers are freshwater.

Consider the Falls of Lora at Connel Bridge on Loch Etive.

These are definitely saltwater

The Falls of Lora are merely a set of rapids due to tidal surge. They are not continuous and not even a set of falls. Excluding any man-made or temporary falls due to natural disaster or tidal surges there are no real natural saltwaterfalls. Saltwater rapids is a more accurate description for what most people refer to as "reversing falls" or tidal falls. The largest being Sullivan Falls in Maine. Take a look and see. They aren't falls, just a little white water. regards, the BbqMan
