Begg Rock
Begg Rock, 15 feet (4.6 m) high, is 8 miles (13 km) northwest of the west point of San Nicolas Island, Ventura County California.[1] This island rises abruptly from depths of 50 fathoms (300 ft; 91 m).[2] A reef extends north and south of the island over 100 yards (91 m) in each direction.[3] A lighted whistle buoy is 500 yards (460 m) north of the rock.[4] This rock may be found on NOAA chart 18755.[5] This rock was given its name by the Coast Survey.[6] It was named for the boat, John Begg, which struck a nearby rock in 1824.[7]
