About Magnolia Rocks

Magnolia Rocks is a challenging Gloucester shore dive with a rocky ledge, boulders, and crevasses that make the underwater terrain interesting once you clear the entry. The site is best on calm, high-tide days with very light N/NW wind, because swells can build quickly and the entry and exit can turn from awkward to serious in a short time. Lobsters are a big draw, and other cold-water fish move through the ledges and cracks.
