Caspar Beach RV Park

Where is a good place to dive for Abalone, you ask?

Caspar Beach, for one!

Enjoy our newly constructed, original design, state of the art Abstation!

But wait there's more, much more Abalone diving along the Mendocino coast!

• South Caspar Point: On Point Cabrillo Drive, turn west on the hill before or after Caspar Campground. Park in the small lot by the gate. There is a handicapped access to the bluff and a climb down the cliff to dive. This is a residential area so please respect their private property.
• Caspar Beach: On Point Cabrillo Drive, there is a large beach with access for kayaks or boat launch. And in the winter on low tide you can walk right out and pic them off the rocks!
