Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Titlow Beach
A great place for artifact hunting, Titlow Beach offers pilings, walls and crevices to explore. Make sure you see the pillars of white sea anenomes on the posts. Fantastic. Pacific Octopus are known to be around as well!
Set up equipment on picnic tables and walk down a hill to the beach.
Titlow Beach is also known as 6th Avenue Dock.
Titlow is found on the shores of the Tacoma Narrows. Head North on Highway 16 from I-5 in Tacoma as if you are heading to Gig Harbor. Just before the ol' Galloping Girdy (The nickname of the previous bridge span-- look it up on the Internet!), exit and take a left on Jackson Ave. Turn right on 6th Street, and wind your way down to the park.

Easy shore entry, great vis (by northwest standards), and good facilities. We were there on Nov 17 and saw flounder, cabezon, small lings, 3 different kinds of crabs, sea stars, etc. Stinky Monkey award to the open water class that was there that day. They swam into everything including other divers, turned the vis into less than a foot, and mangled plant life growing on the pilings.
