Heisler Park
Also known as
Picnic Beach

It's kind of obvious how Heisler Park got it's Nickname, gee, there's a big grassy picnic area at the top. Actually, this is a great place to bring the family, you don't get sand everywhere.

Feed the meters here or get another "Invitation to the policeman's ball". There is a ramp on one side with a shower at the bottom, this seems like it is part of "Diver's Cove" but this is actually Heisler Park. Heisler Park is also protected just like Diver's Cove, don't "Piss off" the DFG, you'll regret it.

This shot shows Picnic Beach and the rock structures that are on your "Right" as you enter the water.

Diving here is similar to Diver's Cove, again, because they are so close together. One spot I've been told about (Never been there) at this locale is a LARGE Rock closer to Main Beach, several times a year it is the "Breeding" and "Birthing" (Is there such a word?) ground for the Leopard Sharks, they can even be seen "Doing their thing" while Skin Diving. Again, I've been told this, I've never actually seen this "Spot".

The shower at the bottom is nice for rinsing off your gear before you head up the hill. In fact, other than Reef Point, I don't know of any other showers in Laguna itself.

There are several reef structures further out just like at Boat Canyon and Diver's Cove. I kind of look at this whole area as being "One place" because they are so close to each other, but the entries and exits are very different for each place, so are the DFG laws, KNOW the laws...

Photography is very good around this whole area if the conditions are good. But on those days when VIZ is low, go somewhere else if you are looking for pictures.

This area can also be affected if there is a "Sewage spill" at Main Beach. Avoid this whole area when these events happen.
