Guide
Approach and anchoring
The cove gives shelter from most directions, lying open only to the south. The entrance is about 240 feet wide but a rock in the middle narrows it to roughly 100 feet, with small vessels passing on the north side of the rock. The bottom mixes rock, weed and mud, so set the anchor on a clear patch of mud.
