The best shore dives in all of southern California is Palos Verdes without a doubt. Hike and dive them all. Old Marineland aka Terranea Resort is pretty sweet. If you can dive in from the Point, the cobblestone beach is barren compared to the point. There’s 120’ reef that’s also kind of flat and plain going out of the cobblestone entry. Then head back to Malaga Cove, Haggartys, Flat Rock, Margate, Honeymoon Cove, Neptunes Cove, Christmas Tree Cove, Point Fermin, the lighthouse cardiac hill. That’s over a month of good dives that you can never find the end of! Malibu is spotty. Palos Verdes is one continuous reef that is wide!
