Old Garden Beach East

Description:

Old Garden Beach (looking east), northeasterly exposure, is a easy sandy entry. Sandy bottom. Depths 15 to 50 feet. To the left of the beach are large boulders and kelp, to the right of the beach are boulder with bedrock and algea. The tide shift is fairly large; so watch where you put your gear.
Resident parking only, during the week, you can park on the street adjacent to the beach. On weekends, look for parking on the side streets.
An excellent night diving sight is the reef along the left side (when facing the ocean)
