Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Carmel River North
This is the Northern most dive site of the Carmel River State Beach, and is slightly protected from the Northern swells. Watch the current as your round the rocky point.
Carmel Point is located at the Southern end of the Carmel. From Highway 1, take Ocean Ave or 13th Ave toward the sea. Turn left on Scenic Road, and continue to the Southern intersection of Ocean View Ave. You will overlook the beach to your right.

I live local so I dive here as much as I can. Sometimes the surge can be bad. The beach is a favorite spot for locals; we were even in some wedding photos fully geared up. Viz is often good here. The reef can get deep around the wash rock. There is a spot in the reef where the rocks create a canyon at about 50 feet. The surge will suck you through and will have a shear drop to about 80 feet, makes you think of being a seal.
