Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at 40 Steps

This is fine cove for casual diving. Easy entry and mostly sheltered from the sea. Coming from Boston, take 1A North. It will become North Shore Road, and then Lynnway. Continue to stay on Lynnway, wrapping around the coast, bearing right onto Nahant Road. From that intersection, the site will be on your left in 3.25 miles.

Good snorkeling spot. Easy to get to and enter the water. I went alone. I saw lots of small fish, star fish and plants/seaweed. I went more out and I saw a small sting ray and one lobster and a 2 good sized crabs. I think I'll be able to see more next time now that I know where to look. I did park my car without a permit and went scuba diving for an hour. I didn't get towed, but there are signs, and there's a lot for about 8 or 9 cars (unless you have a access to the university lot).
