About This Site
Albion Cove lies at the mouth of the Albion River where the historic Albion Bridge spans the inlet. The cove offers protected diving in the lee of the northern headland, with granite reefs, kelp forests, and interesting structure along the river mouth. The site sees fewer divers than the state parks further north, providing a quieter experience.
