Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Monastery Beach North
This is an easy-access site toward the Southern end of Carmel River State Beach. Come here when the main beach, just to the South, is packed. Because this shoreline is wide open to the Pacific swells, you should consider yourself an advanced diver before negotiating the entry. Head South on Highway 1 out of Carmel. Just as you start to see the first roadside beach, you're there!

This place was insane. I was lucky enough to catch it on a sunny day with no surf. We had 70 ft vertical and 40 ft horizontal viz. We did two dives back to back. The shallow kelp was incredible and the deep dive along the canyon was insane. We saw 2 mola molas right next two each other mixed in with a GIANT, dense school of fish. Best dive of my life.
