 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): There is good parking on a widened section of road just below the little hill going up to the gate for the National Research Council's Marine facility on the left hand point of the cove. Parking to the sides of the road, near their gateway is possible too.

There is a short path down onto the beach, and a 50m walk to the water.

The nicest diving is along the leftside (north side) of the cove and outside the cove along the left flank of the shoreline. The research complex's seawater pipelines offer a wonderful navigation aid out and around the point to the nicest diving. This is an area of rich kelp forest, wonderful understory species, several types of crabs, lobster and fishes as well.

It is open to southeast winds and faces the open ocean, so westerly winds are preferred for this site.
