Around 80 berths with water, power and telephone, plus visitor berthing up to 140 ft. Fuel berth open 0800 to noon and 1300 to 1700 daily, with pump-out and oil change. Heads, hot showers and an on-site dive shop with rentals and classes.

Ashore

Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium are a 5 min walk west, Fisherman's Wharf the same distance south. Breakwater Cove itself is the main shore dive site in Monterey, sheltered kelp forest entry straight off the beach next to the marina.
