Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Stillwater Beach

Stillwater Beach is found within the Stillwater Cove County Park, and offers possibilities for the beginner through the advanced. The site opens to the Southwest, so it is mostly protected from the Pacific swells. Just a couple of miles South of Salt Point State Park, and North of Fort Ross.

I have been diving this cove for years and I still enjoy spending a couple hours free diving around the cove. As far as abalone are concerned the areas inside the cove have been pretty picked over and require some searching to find a legal size ab. I have had more luck in the south side of the cove in finding abs and fish as there is more rock structure and much more kelp. If you can launch a kayak and paddle north outside the cove you can quickly get into some really good abs, but be prepared to dive deep (20+ feet). If you have a little experience ab diving I would drive a little farther north to Salt point as, while the conditions are often much tougher, the abalone are more plentiful.
