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.

This is always a great dive - you just need to time it right to avoid some gnarly currents. Just out past the 2 pilings (past Steamers) you will find George and Felicia - a pair of friendly wolfies that love it if you bring them herring. Lots of octo dens in the surrounding reef. The ferry dock is cool, especially at night as it is covered in plumose anemones. There are several other wolfies out surrounding the dock. Big bottlefield out past the ferry dock at about 60'. Good place to find baby octos hiding in the bottles. Great Northwest dive.
