Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Robert Badham
On a good day, you'll find this site worth the effort. Reefs, rocks, sand and kelp line this beach. All levels of divers will find something of interest.
Drive 2.9 miles South of the Newport Bridge, and turn right on Poppy Ave. Head straight to the water where you'll see the intersection below.

This was my 4th official snorkel/free dive. Parking was easy - the walk down the paved road was easy. The beach was clean and the view - WOW !!! that alone was worth the effort. Water temp was 71 degrees - Outside temp was 73 - winds calm - some swell and breakers around 3-5 pm. Visibility wasn't stellar but did average 15ft. Saw two tiger sharks and lots of fish. Enter as far North as possible - sandy bottom - farther south = lots of rocks. Straight out about 100 yards you will find a canyon/drop off - lots of orange fish - Highly recommend this spot - will definitely go back while the water is warm…
