Attractions & Wildlife
The big draw are the fifty foot pinnacles themselves, sometimes barely breaking the surface at high tide. They attract abundant wildlife.
Entry & Access
Parking is $6. Getting to the water isn't too bad but getting to the Pinnacles require a long, long surface swim of about 1500 feet. This might be a better boat dive.
Skill Level & Hazards
Strong currents. Talk to lifeguards before getting in the water.
