Why dive here
Goat Harbor is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Goat Harbor is a solid shore dive, accessible by kayak or a bit of a hike. We typically find leopard sharks cruising the sandy bottom just beyond the kelp beds, especially in late summer. It's a relaxed dive, good for newer divers getting comfortable with temperate water, or photographers wanting to spend time with the local bat rays and sheephead. Expect kelp, some rock formations, and decent visibility on calm days.
