Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Barview Park
Barview County Park offers camping, beach combing, sunning, and, of course, diving! You'll be sure to find enough crab and clams for dinner, so come prepared. As you'll be able to tell from the photos, conditions here can change radically very quickly. Check with a local dive shop about the tides, harvesting limits, visibility, etc. If you have not dived in this area before, you might seriously consider a guide on your first couple of sites.
From Portland, take Highway 26 West to Highway 6 West into Tillamook on the coast. Drive North 9.9 miles into the Heart of Garibaldi. Drive 1.7 miles farther North and turn left onto Cedar Street.

I've dove the site two times. By the coast guard tower, it drops off to 50 ft at high tide. There are sea bass, greenling, a few lingcod, perch, cabezon, etc. I've never seen the vis more than 8'. Definitely better to dive at slack, or you could end up a half mile from where you entered. Exiting water is hardest part. The rocks are slippery and steep, especially with your gear on.
