Old Country Road through the traffic circle and make a left on
Northville Turnpike. Drive north to the end and turn right on Sound

hours.
CONDITIONS:
Rocky Point
is east end beach diving at its' finest. The pebble
beach leads into a clean sand and rock bottom. The depth of the
water is about 15 to 20 feet, and a
mild tidal drift
is usually present. Divers will enjoy fantastic visibility of up to
25
feet if the wind and waves are right. The large rocks that are
located just
offshore not only provide homes for lobsters, but
also attract porgy and nice size
black fish.
A word of caution:
the beach is at the bottom of a bluff, so divers will have to
climb or
walk down approximately 20 feet of sand and loose rocks. Be careful,
since this path is difficult for all, especially when fully suited
in dive gear.
