Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Nellies Cove
Nellie's Cove is a very quiet area, away from the Northern and Western exposure of the Pacific. This is a good spot for beginner diving, as well as an easy location to check-out equipment before heading to more advanced sites.
The Southern-exposure bay of Nellie's Cove is located at Port Orford. From Highway 101, head South on Oregon Street or Washington Street toward the Cove. Make a right on Port Orford Dock Road, and continue to the large public dock area until you see the landmark below.

I really enjoyed this site! Most of my experience comes as a Oregon coast shore diver, so I will review this site with the notion that it is a SHORE dive on the Oregon coast. Entry and exit was much easier than most jetties I have dove. The amount of life was substantially greater than any other shore dive I have seen on the Or. coast. The fact that it was not tide dependant and relatively shallow allowed my buddy and I to get several dives in here. The site was large enough to accommodate several groups of divers and still provided lots of new areas to check out. The last day of our three day weekend spent here, the weather blew in from the south. This immediately stopped our diving, as the waves hit directly onto the entry/exit area. Viz was 8-10ft, enough to really enjoy the area.
