Use a buddy, mind the surf zone, and do not treat a calm-looking beach as a guaranteed easy exit.

Local Intel For Coral Street
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Primary use is shore scuba. The dive starts shallow, then opens into ridges, channels, and kelp as you move out.
Freediving
Only for very confident freedivers on exceptionally calm days; the entry and surge make it a poor casual freedive target.
Snorkeling
Only the shallowest calm water is realistic for snorkeling, and even that depends on benign surf.
