About this site
This shallow reef dive in Southern California offers kelp forests, rocky outcrops, and sandy patches teeming with marine life. Expect playful harbor seals, bat rays gliding over the sand, and colorful garibaldi darting through the kelp. Gentle surge and good visibility make it ideal for beginners. The site's protected cove provides calm conditions year-round, with occasional sightings of octopus and lobsters hiding in crevices. A great spot for macro photography and night dives.
