I wanted to see what the rocky slope on the left-hand point was like when it wasn't covered by kelp so I had a look on March 21, 2008. Visibility was around 15 feet, but in places it was much less due to swarms of tiny shrimp. The rocks were mostly covered with that reddish seaweed that's common in this area. There were a few plumose anemones and lots of urchins at the base of the slope (20-30 feet deep). There were also lots of smaller copper and quillback rockfish, gobies, gunnels, sculpins, nudibranchs, etc. I think this place is fine for people like me that like poking around with a camera, but for normal people there's nothing too dramatic here.
