Directions. From Los Angeles take Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) North/West Past Malibu, Point Dume  the 3 Sisters (El Matador, La Piedra and El Pescador) and Nicholas Canyon County Beach.  Watch for the road sign for Leo Carrillo State Beach and Camp Ground just shy of the Ventura County Line.  Just past  the entrance to Leo Carrillo State Beach,  you will come to Mulholand Highway on the Right, start counting telephone poles on the left here.  The entrance is just past the 4th pole on the left from Mulholland Highway, just as you start up the hill at the slight curve  to the right.  There are NO SIGNS marking the site.  See second aerial photo below.  Sequit Point is located just past the intersection of  Mulholland Highway and PCH.

The Dive:  This is a shallow dive with lots of rock structure.  Note, it does stay very shallow for a very long ways out making this a potentially excellent snorkeling spot. The end of the point is in about 19 feet of water. Enter just opposite the stairs.  The rock reefs run out perpendicular to shore and parallel to the point as illustrated in the photograph below. Swimming out along the point and then working your way back south is often a good dive with lots of juvenile fish. The beach is relatively unprotected but may get into the swell shadow of Catalina if the swell is from the south as it often is during the summer months.  Due to the shallow nature of the dive site, it can be a real pain if there is much surge action.

DISCLAIMER: Dive site descriptions, while believed to be accurate are not guaranteed and should not be relied upon for making your dive decisions.  Dive site conditions can and do change and each diver is responsible for making their own site survey to determine present conditions and the suitability of the site for diving. Every diver is responsible for their own diving decisions. This site is for the Advanced Beach Diver Only and should be considered dangerous.
