Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Lumber Dock
Located in the commercial fishing area of Garibaldi, the Lumber Dock is a great place for finding crabs. Generally the area is protected from boaters, but a dive flag is recommended. An interesting note: there is no law in Oregon that says a boat must stay away from a dive flag. This is a very dangerous situation. Stop by Doug's Diving (in the background of the second entrance photo below) and sign their petition for a minimum safe boating distance to divers.
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, and turn left onto 7th Street as shown below.

Been here a few times, what made this dive better was visibility 15 to 20 ft. Not too many keeper crabs this is definitely a clam dive. Surf was bit more choppy but then the rain was coming down hard and the wind was very fierce. This is my first year diving so what I have been told is that the algae has died down making the water more blue rather than the green I was used to. Saw a few pile perch here before that would be worth taking, but nothing over 4" this time. Great dive for a beginner.
