    Sunrise Beach Park offers a mellow shore dive, perfect for knocking the rust off your gear or for newer cold water divers. Expect a gradual slope down, mostly sandy bottom with some scattered rocks and a few kelp patches. You'll likely spot sculpins, rockfish, and maybe a nudibranch if you're looking closely. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive without strong currents.

    Safety Notes

    Cold water this month (avg 11°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
