The main attraction at this site are the two clay ledges found within easy shore access.
From the entry point take a 240 degree heading and you will swim out over a large cobble bottom wich gives way to sand then a narrow band of eelgrass in the summer then at about 15 feet deep the sandy bottom drops off steeply. You should hit the larger, southern ledge in the middle at about 55-60 feet depending on the tide. The ledge is about 60 feet long and 5-8 feet tall. It is clay and full of holes from clams that house lots of gunnels, sculpin, shrimp, gobies, and other critters. Work your way back to the north of the ledge and then go straight up the bank to hit another short ledge at 35-40 feet deep that is maybe 3 feet tall at the highest point. Its about 30 feet long. Continue straight up and enjoy your safety stop on top of the shelf checking out the eelgrass and cobble.
