Twin Rocks

Another quintessential Oregon Coast diving site, also known as Lone Ranch. The facilities include picnic tables and restrooms, and, on a sunny day, you can't beat the beachcombing! You'll find the best diving to the North, after a short kick to the deeper water.

Directions: About 4 miles North of Brookings, you'll see the beach area and the turn off.

02/28/2006 Steve Denney (Avg: 3.55 Review) - A lot of sandy bottom straight out. Relatively light population of fish, but a good variety. DO NOT attempt to go around the North end if there is any surge or wave action. Safest entry is from the beach by the creek, then swim a lot. The rocks are very slippery, and going at high tide allows entry over them by swimming.

07/06/2003 Jack Holtz (Avg: 3.51 Review) - Went a local buddy to this one -- I was looking for an adventure and found it. It is not an easy site due to the surf, but at least we got wet!
