Not surprisingly, there is an “octopus garden” kind of place to look for. They tend to have a great little hole or tunnel, with shells littered all over their front yard... Look for the piles of shells that just couldn’t have gotten their on their own. Look for the possible tunnels/homes that an octopus might enjoy within this cluster of shells. You won’t always spot them, but if you look thoroughly each time you see the shells gardens, sooner or later you should find an octopus.

At the BHB, octopus are often found in places visiting divers would never imagine looking. One hot spot area for them is the sandy area with some small rubble in about 5 feet of water just off the beach at the Western end of the beach where most divers enter the water. Many sandy expanses with some rubble appear far more attractive to the octopus than the big structure where we find most of the fish.
When you visit the BHB, there are distinct zones of sand expanse, of shell covered sand, of grasses and shells over sand, and of actual large structure from bridge pilings and other large reef building material. Each has its own species which flourish within it.
