Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Winchester Bay
The Crab Dock at Winchester Bay is a nice location for just about everything. We wanted to 'pull up roots' and move here once we realized everything this small community could offer. Plan on spending the day there just diving, crabbing, eating and soaking up the ambiance of this coastal town. By the way, if you like raw oysters, the best we've ever tasted are at a small factory/store located right there in the marina area called Umpqua Aquaculture. The oysters are cold, fresh out of the water, and opened in front of you. Yum!
Winchester Bay is located just South of Reedsport, on the Southern bank of the mouth of the Umpqua River. From 101 in Winchester Bay, turn North on Broadway, then an immediate left onto Salmon Harbor Drive. Wind your way to the water until you see the landmarks below.

Dove here this past weekend 6/14/09. Was a fun little dive under the Pier. Vis was about 5'. I found a few crab pots that were cut free. Lots of junk under the pier. Nice and easy dive for any level diver. Pretty shallow, max was 21' low tide. Parking is good and the walk into the water was easy.
