Also called Lighthouse Cove, this site is situated north of San Miguel Island. It is a cavern with half of the formation submerged in water while the other half is above the surface and home to numerous bats and swiftlets.
It has a massive boulder called the “Sentinel” that is filled with critters. Divers may experience moderate to strong currents and find sharks and rays surfing along these currents.
