This beach is a nice destination for the day-- plenty to see for a two-tank dive.  The underwater scenery is quite rocky, especially around the point where fish, abalone and crab abound.

If coming from Highway 101, take the Los Osos Valley Road exit to the North (3 miles South of San Luis Obispo).  If coming from Morro Bay, take the Bay Blvd exit South from Highway 1, and turn right on Los Osos Valley Road.  Los Osos will merge into Pecho Road.  After the merge, drive for 3.8 miles to the park entrance.

Montana de Oro Beach

I dove this site two days in a row. 1st dive, no surf. It looked like a lake and the vis. was great at 25ft. Lots to see, strong surge though. Next day, big waves on the beach, ZERO vis. undiveable. Great dive spot when conditions are right. Look for the old ship anchor in the middle of bay 400 yards out.
