There is a launch ramp ($12>20) in Corson inlet Park next to the north end of the bridge (Toll $1.50 cash, no EZPass)
There is a trail going from the boat ramp in the park out to the beach but bring bug spray!
Corson Inlet proper would be a lot of work and looks like a boring dive, dessert bottom. None of the fishermen seemed to be catching any keepers so the inlet proper probably isn’t good for spearos either.
This is listed as a beach dive but a boat would be better.
I am thinking that maybe under the Ocean Drive bridge next to the boat ramp there would be marine growth, I’ll need to check my charts and see what the depth is. Update, This is strictly a fall dive, way too much boat traffic and fishing going on here during the summer. Entering from the north end it’s shallow out to the channel and the channel which is 12-20’ is not a safe place to dive. When they built the current bridge they dredged and then dropped the old bridge so there is some structure on the bottom but the viz here is awful and the dive window with the tide change is short :(
