About this site
Magnolia Rocks is a shore dive on the New England coast, built around a long stretch of ledge that slopes gradually into the water. Underwater the ledge follows a gentle slope down, eventually giving way to a sand bottom, with boulders extending several hundred yards offshore.
Depths drop to about 35 to 40 feet (11 to 12 m). There is a lot of sea life swimming around the boulders and hiding in the countless cracks and crevices. Entry and exit are challenging, and the site should only be dived on calm days.
