Massachusetts provides a variety of diving locations and exploration possibilities. Cape Ann affords numerous shore-diving locations, with countless varieties of fish (tautog, flounder, skate, striped bass, and squid, to name but a few!) In addition, lobster and crab can also be found in most rocky areas. An abundance of interesting wrecks can also be accessed from shore.

This is a VERY shallow dive – at high tide max depth is 15'.  There is a good deal of marine life here, including lobsters.  Parking is around $10 for the day, and there are accessible restrooms at the beach.  This site does have an easy entry/exit.  Try to stay straight or west off of the breakwater.  There is a rumor circulating that there is a WWII aircraft in the vicinity, but you'll need a boat/kayak to find it.  This site has Northern exposure.
