This dive site is too easy! The beach entry is a short walk from the parking lot. There is a shower and toilets. One of the shallow reefs is just a few kicks away from the beach. There is a lot of kelp, but if you dig around you can see some large abalone, crabs and clams. This is a great beginner dive, but not the best diving around the area.
