Stage Fort Park offers an easy entry and a shallow dive.  Mostly sandy throughout the center of the cove, the edges offer more exciting exploration.  Diving is only permitted here during the off-season, so call ahead to get the exact dates.

At the end of SR 128 in Cape Ann, turn right on SR 127A (Cross Street), and then bear left onto SR 127 South.   In 1.3 miles, you will cross a bridge.  The park will be your first left after the bridge (.22 miles).  The dive site is .36 miles further.

Great spot to take non-diving family members because of the Snake Bar near the parking area (costs $10.00 to park) and play grounds plus other events on weekends.

Pebble Beach is a popular night diving area because of the proximity of  parking and an easy shore entry.  The depths are no more than 25 feet for several hundred yards out to sea.

At the end of SR 128 in Cape Ann, turn Left on SR 127A (Cross Street).   In one half mile, turn left (following SR 127A) onto Thatcher Road.  After 2.8 miles, turn right onto South Street, and travel almost to the end (.4 miles), turning left on Penzance for another .25 miles.

Pebble Beach

Beach is mostly pebbles, some big. Good beginner's spot.

#2 - Pebble Beach

Folly Cove is one of the finer dives on this part of the peninsula due to the accessibility of a spectacular wall just outside the cove.  Any life indigenous to the New England area can be found here.

At the intersection of SR 127 and SR127A in Rockport (NE Cape Ann), continue North for 2.3 miles, turn right onto Gott Ave.  Parking will be on your right in about 200 yards.
