The site has a clean sand, pebble and rocky bottom. Lots of rocks and a fair amount marine life around them. The current is strong here and visibility is good. Slack tide would be the only time to dive this site.
From Aqua Exporers:
Take the Long Island Expressway East to Exit 73, Old Country Road. Drive east on Old Country Road through the traffic circle and make a left on Northville Turnpike. Drive north to the end and turn right on Sound Avenue.
Sound Avenue will become Middle Road. Take this east until you see a sign for East Marion; turn left onto Rocky Point Road. Drive north to the end and park. Parking is not allowed at the end of Rocky Point Road between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Other parking will have to be found if you’re planning to dive within these hours.
