Loblolly Dive Site, located in Rockport, Massachusetts, is a secluded and picturesque cove known for its vibrant marine life and diverse underwater terrain. The site features a sand beach, rocky headlands, and a tangle of footpaths leading to the water. It is a popular spot for divers due to its rich biodiversity, including lobsters, fish, and other invertebrates. The depths reach 40-45 feet, making it suitable for divers of all levels. The area is also notable for its scenic views, with Thatcher Island and its twin lighthouses visible from the cove.
The dive itself involves swimming along a ledge and large rocks, where divers can explore numerous cracks and caverns. However, parking is limited, and visitors often need to drop off gear and park at nearby locations like Pebble Beach. The site can be challenging during windy conditions, especially from the north or east.
Despite the parking challenges, Loblolly Dive Site remains a favorite among divers for its unique underwater experiences and the opportunity to see a wide range of marine life, including occasional sightings of larger fish like tuna.
