Roanoke Pt Ships (Barges) is a shore accessible salt water dive site, located in Reeves Park, NY. The maximum depth is 21-25ft/6-8m. The average visibility is 31-35ft/9-11m.

There are 4 wood hull boats sunk off the beach. 3 in a line, 1 half buried on the shore and another half buried boat about 100 yards away. The access to the beach is about a half a mile east of the site. I use a sit-on-top kayak to get there and dive but most people will have to walk. Visibility is good with lots of marine life.
