Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Winchester Bay

The Crab Dock at Winchester Bay is a nice location for just about everything. We wanted to 'pull up roots' and move here once we realized everything this small community could offer. Plan on spending the day there just diving, crabbing, eating and soaking up the ambiance of this coastal town. By the way, if you like raw oysters, the best we've ever tasted are at a small factory/store located right there in the marina area called Umpqua Aquaculture. The oysters are cold, fresh out of the water, and opened in front of you. Yum! Winchester Bay is located just South of Reedsport, on the Southern bank of the mouth of the Umpqua River. From 101 in Winchester Bay, turn North on Broadway, then an immediate left onto Salmon Harbor Drive. Wind your way to the water until you see the landmarks below.

We entered next to the crab dock which was really easy. The surf sloshed us around when we tried to put our fins on. The visibility was the "dive by brail" kind, maybe a foot of vis. Because of the vis, we say no wildlife.
