Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Mendocino Bay
This dive site may be found on the North coast of Mendocino Bay. This wonderful diving beach is also known as The Blow Hole, due to a large hole in a cave to the right of the beach. The cave itself is known for a spectacular collection of nudibranches. Other critters can, of course, be found in the kelp field just off shore.
At the South end of Mendocino, take Main Street toward the ocean.

This place has probably seen more people then any other site in Mendo county. Mainly because this beach is where all the locals hang out and watch their children. As for the blow hole, there are lots of broken and whole ab shells (found some really nice baby ab shells) and what appears to be old car/wagon parts. I asked a local and was told that back in the day people would use the hole as a dump. So overall if you're into finding shells and seeing a local sea fill, this is a great place. Otherwise better off at Russian Gulch or Van Dam.
