Did a one tank dive. Parked right in front of the shower. Bathrooms were open and clean. Water temp was 50 degrees but felt warmer. Vis was 20 foot once we got past the inside kelp. Didn't see any fish, but we saw Dungeness crabs, big abs and sunstar fish. It was a very easy walk from the parking lot to the water. Small one foot surf. I took pictures and they came out really nice.
