Both entrances lead to the first cave which has normal mutants.
This is where the rest of the cave system is that joins up with entrance #2 and 3. This area is complicated with several dead ends and a single loop (ie you can walk in a circle). more
This one has two entrances:
1 - near the big anchor, just walk along the beach towards the anchor and away from dead shark to the cliff
2 - this one is inside the forest from the peninsula that separates the yacht and anchor beaches.
There is another cave that has 2x super mutants. These guys have multiple arms and legs and appear to flail the arms around to try and hit you. However these guys will not walk towards you and just stand there, so you can easily avoid them. They seem to invincible to everything except a bomb. [links]
I just finished exploring and roughly mapping how the cave system is connected.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention there is a cave with normal mutants in it too, possibly another cave (from YouTube - but did not spawn them when I explored). [links]

Here is a list of the types of buildings and their abilities to attach, or not attach to all the boats. This can help you plan and choose what to build on boats.

Theory 1) Sahara was taking children to their lab, and the yacht group (comprised of the Siblings Missing parents and Zachary's parents) came to the peninsula to rescue their children. They were not prepared for the mutants and cannibals, and the group was therefore overrun. One became trapped in Cave 2 and built a wall to keep the cannibals out, and summarily starved to death. One died (probably via cannibal or perhaps shark) and was buried on shore. One died (probably via cannibal or perhaps snow/exposure) and was buried in the mountain area. The last parent committed suicide on board upon realizing the hopelessness of their venture. here
This is a fairly common area to start a base, though it is one of the most dangerous (see enemies below). The suitcases and yacht along with the ample number of booze bottles on the beach nearby provide a nearly limitless amount of Molotov cocktails. When you dive on cliff-y ground with corals, you can find oysters. The waters nearby have fish to catch with a spear. The player is unable to build on the deck of the yacht, but can build in the interior of the yacht. However, not all structures will be usable after being built (for example, water collectors and drying racks appear to function normally, but fire pits cannot be lit). This, coupled with the yacht's cramped interior space, severely limits the potential for base build-up on the yacht itself. [links]
It is suggested that the yacht group came to the island purposefully sometime in 1984 (via the Yacht magazine's date), in order to use the resurrection obelisk or to rescue the group's children from said obelisk (see suggested theories below). Multiple obelisk drawings can be found scattered around the yacht table. A milk carton can also be found depicting a missing child, Zachary, similar to the missing siblings. Nearby in the yacht, a photo depicting a Virginia can be found.
This last one, found on the bed, could be the owner of the yacht. It looks like the person was possibly committing suicide because of the "calm" position it is laying in. here
A few bodies that may to belong to the yacht group can be found in various locations: more

I think the answer is that ships tend to carry stuff, supplies for food and ship maintenance even if nothing else, and the density and quantity of the cargo plus any non-wooden ship parts (maybe the kitchen has an oven, for example?) is typically enough to bring the overall density of the ship high enough to sink if the air is replaced with water.
Dry wood is porous and full of air, and the air floats. When the wood becomes soaked with water the cell chambers which used to be full of air become full of water, and the wood sinks. This is why wood used in ships is covered in pitch, tar, or other oils which keep the water from soaking into the wood. [links]
