Stillwater cove is recognized for its relatively undisturbed marine environment.  Due to the sensitivity of this habitat, only 10 divers a day are allowed access.  Sorry, there is no night diving.  The Beach and Tennis Club provides the coastal access from sunrise to sunset, and there is a $10 gate fee to gain access into Pebble Beach.

Located in the heart of Pebble Beach, the drive here is worth the effort, even if you are not going to dive!   Drive South of Carmel on Highway 1 to Ocean Ave.  Take Ocean Ave West and turn right on San Antonio Ave.  Wind your way North until you find yourself on Carmel Way.  You will soon intersect with the famous 17 Mile Drive.  A gate guard will welcome you and relieve you of some money for the privilege of hobnobbing with the Rich and Famous. Travel North West for about 1 mile, and turn left on Palmero Way.  Travel approximately 1/2 mile and then make a left on to Cypress Drive for about 1/8 of a mile which ends at Stillwater Cove.

Stillwater Cove

Interesting site. Calm with granite formations (cuts, shallow canyons) and kelp. Very pleasant dive from shore or from a boat out of Monterey Harbor.
