Site details

A residential beach-access dive in Burien at the prominent point (Point Pully) between Seattle and Des Moines, dived from the small public access on the north side. Cobble and boulder reef begins around 30 ft and gives way to sand at 80-90 ft, with octopus dens, ledges and scattered debris; an old telegraph cable and bottle areas add interest. Access is a gated dirt path to a concrete bulkhead with almost no amenities, and the beach either side of the access is private property.
