Why dive here
Cabrillo Beach is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cabrillo Beach offers a straightforward shore dive, usually quite calm and approachable for newer divers or those looking for an easy entry. You’ll find a sandy bottom with scattered rocks and some small kelp patches, home to various small invertebrates and occasional juvenile fish. It’s a good spot for knocking out a gear check or practicing skills without strong currents or deep water. Visibility can be hit or miss, typical of urban Southern California beaches, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant local dive.
