Corral Canyon State Beach
The kelp forest at Corral Beach is easily accessible with plenty of parking and great amenities since the best entry point is at a state beach. The shortest swim to the kelp is from the Northwest end of the beach. Always check surf and ocean conditions before heading out to dive this site.
Lots of perch, opaleye, and barred sand bass, lobsters, octopuses, Spanish shawl nudibranchs, sheep crabs, and gorgonian sea fans. Also look for large sheepshead and garibaldi.
