Special Notes: The site offers
sandy beach entry with kelp beds that start
about 50 yards from shore. The kelp canopy can severely affect
light from
penetrating the surface, so a light is advised.
The area is also affected
by surf conditions. With the reefs at the bottom
surrounded by sand, it is
not uncommon for visibility to be limited much of
the year. Depth ranges
from 15 - 35 feet. Sheepshead, opaleye, urchines,
nudibancs, starfish,
abalone, lobster, rock scalopes, dolphins, sea
lion and even an occasional
grey whale have been noted from this site over the years.
See description of site by Eccotour.
