About Kennedy Cove
Kennedy Cove is a beginner-friendly Ensenada dive site with a beach entry and a wall cut through temperate Pacific reef. The site is shaped more by rocky structure and kelp than by coral, so it feels like a classic northern Baja shore dive. Plan it around shoreline conditions, because the open coast can turn a simple entry into the main variable. It suits divers who are comfortable with cool Pacific water and a conservative shore setup.
