Blue Heron Bridge

Entry and exit are from a sandy beach with a gentle slope. The site is tide-dependent, with the best diving around high tide when water depth and visibility are optimal.

Easy beach access from Phil Foster Park. The main entry point is a small sandy beach under the east side of the bridge.

Incredible biodiversity including seahorses, frogfish, batfish, octopuses, sea robins, stargazers, flying gurnards, and numerous species of nudibranchs. The area is famous for its macro photography opportunities and chance to see rare critters.

The site features a mix of sandy areas, artificial reef structures, and bridge pilings. Depths range from 6-20 feet depending on the tide. The most popular area is under and around the bridge spans, with interesting debris and structure creating habitat for marine life.

Free parking is available at Phil Foster Park. The lot can fill up on weekends and holidays, so arrive early.

Restrooms, outdoor showers, and picnic areas are available at Phil Foster Park. Several dive shops are located nearby for air fills and equipment rentals.

Moderate to high, especially during high tide on weekends. The site is popular with both divers and snorkelers. Weekday diving offers a less crowded experience.

Plan your dive around high tide for best conditions. Strong currents can develop during tide changes, so timing is important. Boat traffic in the channel requires caution when swimming beyond designated areas. The site is in an urban area, so occasional pollution or reduced visibility can occur after heavy rains.
