Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Monastery Beach North

This is an easy-access site toward the Southern end of Carmel River State Beach. Come here when the main beach, just to the South, is packed. Because this shoreline is wide open to the Pacific swells, you should consider yourself an advanced diver before negotiating the entry. Head South on Highway 1 out of Carmel. Just as you start to see the first roadside beach, you're there!

This was by far the best California dive I've done to date! There was something to see everywhere you turned! The kelp forest was wonderful. Watch the waves coming back into shore. Make sure you hug the north end of the beach as there is a mean under tow just as the wave breaks on shore. Can't wait to do this dive again!
