About this site
Seal Rock sits off Laguna Beach on the Orange County coast of Southern California, in a stretch of shoreline marked by rocky points and kelp-lined coves. The reef here reaches a maximum depth of about 19.8 metres. Divers have noted that reaching it involves a long shore swim from a remote stretch of beach, with access to the water somewhat out of sight of onlookers, so planning the entry and exit carefully is worth factoring in before the dive.
