Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Malaga Cove
Malaga Cove contains reefs, kelp, sand and rock creatures. Take two tanks, if you have the time and energy!
Located in the posh Palos Verdes area, grab your street map and follow along: From the Pacific Coast Highway, head South on Palos Verdes Blvd for 1.4 miles. Turn right on Palos Verdes Drive West. In 1/4 mile, turn right on Via Corta which soon becomes Via Almar. Take your next right (Via Arroyo) to the view below.

Dove Malaga Cove yesterday. We started with four divers - two of whom were experienced but not in the best shape. My buddy and I had no problems with the hike. The other divers were exhausted by the time we reached the sandy beach. The second team struggled with exhaustion and gear issues. They decided to call it a day after one entry attempt. My buddy and I had no problems with the entry. He felt like it was a long kick out. Viz was bad, but we still saw amazing sea life. We saw lobsters, crabs, sand sharks, angel sharks, sculpin and of course garibaldi. I would recommend this dive, but make sure your fitness level is decent and you don't mind beach dives. Next time I will do the rocky entry as it didn't look too bad and will save a lot of energy in the kick out.
