Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Magnolia Rocks
Another good area for lobster, Magnolia Rocks can be a great dive once you get past the rocky entry. You can descend down to about 45 feet where you'll find boulders, sand and crevasses. Perfect for exploration! Lots of lobsters, too close to rocks for boats to drop their pots...large stripers, not afraid of you...easy to spear..delicious..cold and when algae bloom, no vis..but can get dinner there in 15 minutes
At the end of SR 128 in Cape Ann, turn right on SR 127A (Cross Street), and then bear left onto SR 127 South. In 1.3 miles, you will cross a bridge. In another 2.3 miles, turn left onto Magnolia Ave. In .6 miles, turn left onto Raymond/Norman. In 300 yards, turn right onto Lexington Ave. and go to the end.

By far my favorite dive site so far. If you're willing to put extra effort into your entry and exit from the water, the dive is definitely worthwhile. Have had bad to excellent visibility here (5-30+'). Good lobstering spot, also. Bring your camera since this spot offers some good out-of-water photo opportunities. During my many dives I have only seen one other person diving here, and parking is right off the water.
