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.

Great dive spot. Easy parking less than 1/2 block away. Mildly difficult entry, but once in, the dive is worth the hassle. Water temps in the channel were around 49, closer to shore in the mid 50's. Unlike previous reviews, I like the diving on the right, especially towards the island.
