Top Snorkeling and Scuba Diving in Montecito

Biltmore

Several low reefs off the beach provide habitat for fish and footing for kelp. Occasionally you'll see horn sharks on the sand. Traveling South along US 101, take exit 94A to Olive Mill Road. Go straight along Spring Road, and turn right at the first stop sign, onto Olive Mill Rd heading South. Olive Mill Road bends to the right and becomes Channel Drive, along the beach. Park along Channel Drive, preferably on the ocean side across from the Biltmore Hotel. Gear up and take the stairs to the beach. The dive is off the beach and generally to the right (East).
