Top Snorkeling and Scuba Diving in Southold

Horton Pt

I have made this dive from the beach and from a boat. The bottom is rocky with boulders and a fast moving current. From the beach this site needs to be timed just right. I made this dive from a boat during an outgoing tide and it was like an underwater roller coaster taking you over boulders as big as a two story house. LIE exit 71, Edwards Ave north to Sound Ave east to Horton Ln north. Bear right onto Old North Rd and left onto Lighthouse Rd to the end. There is parking at the lighthouse and a long stairway down to the beach. The stairway is about 125 steps long so do not attempt this dive if carrying your equipment back up is going to be a problem. Horton Pt is also known as Horton Pt Lighthouse.
