Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Folly Cove
Folly Cove is one of the finer dives on this part of the peninsula due to the accessibility of a spectacular wall just outside the cove. Any life indigenous to the New England area can be found here.
At the intersection of SR 127 and SR127A in Rockport (NE Cape Ann), continue North for 2.3 miles, turn right onto Gott Ave. Parking will be on your right in about 200 yards.

I heard so much about Folly Cove that I had to try it. It was true about the parking but someone gave me some good advice and that is bring a bike with you so you can drop off your equipment. Get a parking space down the road and ride back with your bike. The entry wasn't terrible but at low tide the rocks get slippery so be careful. My first dive was to the left. Lots of fun but the visibility was very poor. I can't wait to see what it's like when you have 10+ vis. Our second dive was to the right. With a lot of kelp beds and rocks, the visibility was even worse here about 2 feet. We had to surface as it was just too bad.
