Why dive here
Sandy Point is a muck dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sandy Point is a classic California muck dive, perfect for those who enjoy slowing down and searching for the smaller, stranger creatures. The bottom here is mostly sand and mud, which sounds less exciting than reefs, but it’s exactly where you’ll find things like nudibranchs, gobies, and maybe even a camouflaged flatfish. It’s a great spot for macro photographers and divers who appreciate a good hunt for something unusual.
