Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach is a popular night diving area because of the proximity of parking and an easy shore entry. The depths are no more than 25 feet for several hundred yards out to sea. At the end of SR 128 in Cape Ann, turn Left on SR 127A (Cross Street). In one half mile, turn left (following SR 127A) onto Thatcher Road. After 2.8 miles, turn right onto South Street, and travel almost to the end (.4 miles), turning left on Penzance for another .25 miles.

Free parking in Rockport says it all! We call this site the "supermarket" for it's abundance of lobster and flounder. There are a series of three reefs parallel to shore each progressively farther offshore with stretches of sand in between. Maximum depth at the outermost reef is approximately 40 ft. Navigation is easy, follow a course perpendicular to shore until you reach your desired reef then follow the reciprocal course back to the beach. Hunt lobster on the reefs and flounder in the sand. I've seen the odd Goosefish here in the sand zones. The beach consists of cobble sized stones (pebbles!?) so be careful on entry/exit. Best viz in the fall.
