The Stockoff Creek trail leads to beautiful Stillwater Cove. This maybe the most beautiful small cove on the Pacific Coast; in any case, it is prized by snorkelers and abalone divers because it is so sheltered from the ocean currents. The cove and beach are likely to be crowded in the summer and on weekends since it is a relatively short drive from the Bay Area. On weekdays during the winter and spring the campground and cove are nearly empty. The campground also has a trail leading to a nearby canyon and a half mile trail leading to the historic Fort Ross Schoolhouse.
Because this cove is so popular, its population of abalone is not large and one has to dive pretty deep to get them. In this respect, a divers chance of finding a legal sized abalone are better at Fort Ross Cove three miles to the south and at The Russian Gulch State Park one mile north of Mendocino.
