Rye Pier
★★★★☆
(1,990)
Rye Pier is an L-shaped pier approximately 500 meters long. It was built in 1860 to service the lime trade. The pier points North-Northeast so it is not diveable in strong northerly winds. A long walk to the lower landing located 50 meters from the end of the pier. Much better dive at night as more things come out then.
You will see octopus, seahorse, cuttlefish, nudibranch, smooth ray’s, shrimp, blue ring octopus, and spider crab migration.
