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.

The pilings are absolutely covered in live, mostly large anenomies. There is a barge just to the south west of the pilings, but it is mostly decayed now. There are many other odd items to be found in the vicinity, such as toilets and a bottle field. There is a rock ledge system to the south, and it is rumored that you can find wolf eels there, but I haven't found any there yet. Around the pilings you are likely to find rock fish, cabazon, ect... We even found a medium sized ling cod by the barge. This is another dive that doesn't have much for depth, thirty to thirty five feet max around the pilings. This is an enjoyable site, but dive it at slack or during smaller and slower exchanges, as it is very close to the narrows.
