Best for intermediate divers, 1-10m, shore & boat entry, mild current.
White Point in Two Harbors features a diverse underwater landscape of natural reef, kelp forest, and artificial structures. Divers explore depths between 1 and 10 metres, averaging 7 metres. The site is notable for shallow underwater hot water vents that create rippling thermal waves. Marine life includes common sea stars, brittle stars, and ochre sea stars, alongside uncommon Spanish shawls, tube worms, and sea hares. Rare sightings include the lesser two-spot octopus, flatworms, clown dorids, and various crustaceans. Entry is possible from both shore and boat, though divers must navigate surf and shore breaks. Due to kelp density and variable visibility of 3 to 6 metres, careful buoyancy and equipment management are required.

Park in the lower Royal Palms beach parking lot, gear up near the seawall, and enter where the beach/rocks give you the safest path into the water.
