Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Breakwater Cove
Breakwater Cove is another popular dive site. Parking can be limited, so get there early. This is a wonderful place to get a glimpse of sea lions, octopus, and other marine creatures. The best diving is on the outer side of breakwater. Beware of kelp and boats!
In Monterey, heading West on Del Monte, bear right onto Lighthouse Ave, then bear right onto Foam St. Make a right onto Cannery Row.

This was an excellent "first-time" snorkeling experience, lots of plant life, starfish, a few crabs and fish as well. I did not scuba but saw 3 other people scuba diving...a lot of kelp growing about 30-50 ft off shore, which I did not explore due to its thickness but seemed good for scuba. The water was slightly less clear than Monterey State Beach but the abundance of underwater life made it worthwhile.
