A great site for, what else, CRABS!  The Docks have easy access and entry, but you do have watch out for the current.  Plan your dive for slack!  Exploring under the dock, lost items, from the landlubbers above, are there for the taking!

Take the nearest exit from the South side of the Newport Bridge.  Head down the hill toward the water, and find the parking lot close to the bay just to the East of the bridge.  You won't see the dock until you start to walk toward the water.
