About this site
Sunset Cliffs is a shore diving area along the Point Loma peninsula in San Diego, California, named for the sandstone cliffs that line this stretch of Pacific coastline. Divers typically enter from small coves and rocky beaches below the bluffs, working around kelp beds and rocky reef terrain common to this part of Southern California's coast. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 30.5 metres and is rated an advanced dive, reflecting the entry and exit over rocks and swell along this exposed shoreline.
