This place has probably seen more people then any other site in Mendo county. Mainly because this beach is where all the locals hang out and watch their children. As for the blow hole, there are lots of broken and whole ab shells (found some really nice baby ab shells) and what appears to be old car/wagon parts. I asked a local and was told that back in the day people would use the hole as a dump. So overall if you're into finding shells and seeing a local sea fill, this is a great place. Otherwise better off at Russian Gulch or Van Dam.

I've been diving this site now for the past 2 years, and I must say that for local shore diving it's pretty good. But like most dives around here it appears to be over fished. During the winter/spring months it is blown out and vis is bad. But come June thru early November the vis can get pretty good at about 20-25ft. As far as depth goes, most of the life is in 20-30ft so it's pretty shallow.
