Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Great Island Commons
What a beautiful location. Even if you don’t intend to dive, it is worth the dive to visit this park. The coast is rocky and the entry is easy. What more could you want?!
Coming into Portsmouth from the South on 1A about .5 mile North of Foyes Corner, turn right on 1B (Wentworth Rd.) In 1.84 miles, turn right into the Great Island Commons.

This site is called "Newcastle Commons" by natives like me. :) If you absolutely have to get wet, this dive's for you. Uninteresting bottom topo (fairly rocky with lots of rockweed), and very few critters. The main entry area is the sandy beaches to the left of the stone jetty, but I chose the jetty. Gets deeper quickly, vis was dismal even by New England standards. 5-8' MAX. But is a Really nice park, for non divers and families. If the dive conditions deteriorate, kick back and have a BBQ!!
