Lover's Point is the perfect park for divers and non-divers.  The small cove above is great for kids, and the cove just beyond in the background is better suited to divers.  There are restrictions to diving: you can only dive April to September, weekday mornings before 11:30.  Check with a local dive shop for the current restrictions-- they may change from time to time. There are 3 different entry points (at the bottom of each set of stairs) called Lovers 1, Lovers 2, and Lovers 3. Lovers 3 is a bit more advanced, while Lovers 1 and 2 present easier entries/exits

In Monterey, heading West on Del Monte, bear right onto Lighthouse Ave, then bear right onto Foam St.  Make a right onto David Ave, then a left onto Ocean View Blvd.  After you pass the Park on your right, bear right and continue toward the ocean to drop off your gear.

Lovers Point

7.25.10 We dove Lover's Point and West Lover's Point this weekend.  Harbor Seals are in abundance, and a joy to watch! We had one accompany us on our surface swim and then swim around us a couple of times as we were diving.    The surface swim is fairly easy, with the exception of the kelp which tends to tangle on your fins.  We experienced mild/moderate surge on the west side of the site, which only added to the experience!    We were rewarded with 20 ft. visibility and a wide array of sea life including bat starfish, nudibranchs, sea cucumbers, one jelly, rockfish and several types of crab.  It is a great site for beginning divers!
