Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Stage Fort Park
Stage Fort Park offers an easy entry and a shallow dive. Mostly sandy throughout the center of the cove, the edges offer more exciting exploration. Diving is only permitted here during the off-season, so call ahead to get the exact dates.
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. The park will be your first left after the bridge (.22 miles). The dive site is .36 miles further.

Great site for beginners and for bringing the family. The advanced and intermediate can have fun too, it just depends on how far you want to kick. Of the 2 sites, the south facing side offers the shortest gear-lug. One needs to kick out 75 yds or so to get to some good rock structure (you can see the larger rocks when the tide is not at peak-high). Lots to see and do out there, and due east of those rocks. Some 20+ foot boulders off the southern area of the visible rocks from shore. Lots of keepers out far enough. Lots of gear lost from newbies. Nice little snack bar across the street. 10$ to park all day, and bathrooms on-site.
