Cawsand Bay
★★★★☆
(389)
Cawsand and Kingsand Bay are both on the western side of Plymouth Sound in Cornwall and can both be done as shore dives, with parking 200m from the beach. Further out on the outcrop of Cawsand, close to the old boat slipway, is a great drift dive as the current moves out of the bay.
The seabed is comprised of a sandy bottom with rocky outcrops. There is a variety of marine life including flat fish, crabs, pipe worms and burrowing anemones.
