Why dive here
Christmas Tree Cove is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Christmas Tree Cove is a straightforward shore dive, easy to access and usually calm. You'll find a mix of rock and sand, with small kelp patches providing shelter for various nudibranchs and juvenile fish. It's a nice spot for new divers to practice buoyancy or for photographers looking for macro subjects without a lot of current. We often head here for a relaxed afternoon dip.
