Located in Waldport, this site has the best crabbing in the area!  It's a little tricky to work with the tides, but ensure you are only diving during low slack.  The channel is narrow and deep, and the current can be swift.

Found on the coast between Newport and Florence, the site is found on the South side of the inlet channel to Alsea Bay.  See below for more directions.
