The top of the wall starts in about 40-50ftsw and is a spectacular site to see, if not a bit daunting. The wall is huge and beautifully sculpted. The bottom will be no where is sight as you crest the top of the wall but it will appear at 80-100ft depending on where you descend, and a second wall below that point will take you to depths well over 200ftsw.
The wall is most notable for the beautiful sandstone seascape, crevices and massive appearance. The wall itself is relatively barren of large sea life and occupied primarily by scallops, sculpin, and other small creatures. If moving to the west, the wall ends just around the point from the entry in front of the bulkhead with some impressive sculpture, shelves and crevices. I am not sure how far it extends toward the ferry dock…yet. The shelf above the wall has more plant life and is home to greenling and other varieties of fish.
