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.

There are now new stairs a little farther out the point. They are better made than the old ones but longer. Long but do-able walk to the water down stairs and very, very long walk back up. Take it slow or take up your weights separately if you are not in great shape. For scuba divers the multitude of different types of nudibranchs is the biggest attraction inside the hole. The hole is always open to air so not dangerous like a cave. You can only dive it on a calm day as waves flush through in rougher water. As always watch the water movement for a while before diving. Almost always surgey but worth it if you love nudis!
