#1 - Fergusons Cove
Canada, Nova Scotia
The bottom is small stones and gravel grading down to mud and silt, but with some small boulder slopes covered in rich kelp forest. The site is very protected from all westerly winds, and the gravel and small cobble beach is just a short few meters scramble from the vehicle parking. This site has nice crabs, lobster, small fish such as Red Hake, Cunner, Pollock, Longfin Hake, Sculpin and Sea Ravens. As the bottom gets softer, muddy bottom species become more common with several Tube Anemones becoming common. This is a nice spot close to the city with moderately nice marine life and nice night diving - good for macro-photography. Depths to 50'.
Fergusons Cove is south of Halifax proper, along the Percyls Cove Road. It is on a side gravel road on the ocean, left side, just as you climb a hill, before you come to York Redoubt.
