Jenny Cliff
Sheltered Plymouth Sound shore dive with a sandy beach entry.
Easy shore access from the beach and car park, with a shallow profile, low visibility, and calm-water bias.
About Jenny Cliff
Jenny Cliff is a sheltered shore dive in Plymouth Sound with a sandy beach entry, rockier ground near the shoreline, and a simple shallow profile. It is best for divers who want an easy approach and close-in life rather than big structure, with spider crabs, wrasse, and lobsters among the usual finds. Use an SMB and keep a close buddy line because the bay is busy with water-sports traffic and visibility can be modest.
