Although visibility here is never more than 15-20 feet, there’s still an exceptional amount of marine life to see, it is an easy beach entry, and beachside facilities are great. Navigation is easy as well making this a great site for beginners.
Marine life is dense here including octopus, giant keyhole limpets, large pisaster stars, nudibranchs, and sheep crabs.
