Well said...thank you.
![]() CP was the first spot I wanted to intro my son to free diving, aka snorkeling. Easy access, no obstructions. As it stands, I will have to take him to my bug spot, S of CP, not as easy of a dive, and more rocks (obstacles) instead of the smooth sand entry. Sunset Cliffs? ya right LJ shores? Leopards, he has swam with them, but nothing else. Cardiff? Great flat, which is rare, not even safe at low tide. Swamis? ya right Think that about covers the coast without endangering him too much....that's my reason for seeing CP as it should be. And yes, if I could control where my tax $ went, safe to say where it would be spent...

I was mistaken on the dredging, I remembered an article about the original construction that talked about the drains being designed poorly and assumed... I know.
Proud to be a children hugger? Holy crap that is funny. If you take everything I say seriously you are missing the sarcasm. |

Tman, if you are looking for a great place for snorkeling with your kid where he can see lots of cool stuff, try the bay north of Big Rock in Bird Rock. There is a fairly easy rock access near the point on the north side.
That was my "secret" place as a kid. In the day you could get a limit of abs in 10 minutes. These days the abalone are gone but there are still plenty of fish, crabs and other intersting things. Go at low tide when it is shallow. The water there gets dirty with any kind of surf however. Bob |

Know the area very well...last ab I got was just S of there back in the day, buried under a ledge.
Low tide is best, but I'm still worried about the undercurrent, you know what I mean. Good place at low tide to scavenge, but not for a beginner youth. Conditions would have to be ideal, otherwise, scrape, scrape, scrape... BTW, that is the best spot to find ![]()
