Loblolly Cove
Description:
Loblolly Cove (looking east), northeasterly exposure, is a easy rocky
entry. There is also a sand boat ramp (near the dirt parking lot),
which can be used for an easy entry. Gradual sloping bottom, the cove
itself is fairly shallow (20 feet). Near the point is a very pretty
dive site with a depth of 25-35+ feet. Resident parking only, you can
unload and park at
Pebble Beach or one of the side streets.
