Parking near Folly Cove?

[mello-yellow]

I would say at night is ok even summer peak season. I have never had an issue on dusk/night dives parking in the pull off. Whatever you do, don't park at the side of the lobster restaurant. I once came across a guy that had his car towed after he got out of the water. It's ok to park across the street on other side but not on the side of the restaurant.

I am curious, why does no one ever enter water near that restaurant? Is it a "no tresspassing private property", or is the bottom there boring?

The former.

The Lobster Pool does not allow diving off their property nor does the owner of the seawall next door.

As I get set to launch my Scuba Shack idea the summer parking issue looms.

Is a resident of either Gloucester, Rockport, or Essex immune to fines at diving areas? From my eyes it seems that Rockport is the logical place to put my Scuba Shack. That being said I've dove the Cape when it is devoid of tourists and summer folk. There is always parking during winter and late, blustery fall months.

Thanks guys.
