SwimTrek in Milos, Greece (September 2026)

Shaw’s Cove is an extremely popular dive and swimming spot located just north of central Laguna Beach. With nearby street parking and stairs down to a sandy beach (at lower tides), the cove is very accessible. Conditions during my snorkel/freedive session were not optimal with about 10 to 15 feet visibility and a cloudy sky. I kept to the west side of the cove and swam out to the rocky point. The outcroppings were mostly covered in varieties of undulating kelp kept in motion by a moderate surge. Moderate numbers of fish were evident including California Sheephead, Kelp Bass, and the ever present brilliant-orange Garibaldi.
