| Directions |

To
get to Moss Street Cove in Laguna Beach turn south at Moss street from PCH.
If parking is particularly bad you can continue on Ocean street by Woods
cove. The parking will be on Moss street or Ocean (which is a one way street).
Moss street is several miles south of Broadway street and the main beach.
There are NO signal lights at either of these streets and the signs are
easy to miss! Moss street can be found by looking for the brick fence with
the large letters "MOSS POINT" on it (pictured here). The entrance to Moss
street cove is straight down Moss Street to the very end. Moss street cove
is completely in a residential area and you enter the beach from the left
of someones house. |

The
parking at Moss Street cove is on Moss or Ocean street. There are very
few parking places and if you want to dive at Moss Street cove either
get there very early and/or be very lucky! Moss street has parking on both
sides of the street while Ocean street is a one way street and the parking
is only on the north side of the street. The south side of the street only
has private driveways (please don't park in someone's driveway). Please
remember that this is a residential area and be courteous and discrete. |

Beach
access at Moss Street cove is available from a stairway at the street level
down to the secluded cove. There is housing on the right side of the staircase.
There are a lot of steps to the beach and the stairs are steep so be carefull
ascending and decending and take your time when loaded with dive gear. During
high tide the entire beach gets wet so don't leave anything in the sand
(it may not be there when you get back!). |

| Diving |

This
picture is an evening picture of Moss Street cove. The diving is great straight
out and on the rocks to the left. The bottom drops off sharply and can be
covered with rocks and shells. There are several rocky reef areas that are
great to explore. Moss Street cove has some of the best diving in Laguna
Beach. Moss is not as sheltered from the waves as some of the other coves
and can get a bit rough. When you find the weather and water agreeable this
is an area that you will want to spend several days exploring. |
