Dive Site
As a Marine Protected Area since 1970, Edmonds Underwater Park is a no take, no boat and no motorized vehicle park in which marine biodiversity thrives. The Ling cod and Cabazon here can be huge. Look closer to find Grunt and Longfin sculpin, Gobies, nudibranchs and other smaller critters. In the summer, the eelgrass beds provide good habitat for hooded nudibranchs.
It’s an easy entry from the beach with a moderate-to-long surface swim to reach the 27-acre underwater park. The deepest point in the marine park is about 45 feet at high tide. Rope trails on the bottom help you navigate the site and find the different features. There is a good map of the site posted on the north wall of the restrooms.

Free parking in the lot. Limited to about 35 spaces. It can fill up quickly, so add some time to find a spot.
Facilities
The site has clean, public restrooms with changing areas that are open year-round and an outdoor shower that is open in the summer.
