This is a backup plan when conditions are too rough to get past Point
Pinos. It is also a good training ground for new techies. Nevertheless
this spot is interesting for macro photography as it houses a wide
variety of critters, especially nudibranchs. The major danger here is
the boat traffic as it is right in the way of boat coming in and out of
the harbor.
