Whaler’s Cove
★★★★☆
(125)
Whaler’s Cove is the most popular dive location in Point Lobos, offering unbelievably rich and pristine walls, pinnacles, and kelp forests. The cove itself is only about 30 feet deep, making it a great spot for snorkeling and beginning divers.
You can fin right up to fish, and they hardly move until you are among them. Otters, harbor seals, and sea lions abound.
