About
At the western end of the mile-long Richard Haynes Boardwalk, this small, well-shaded cove is a sheltered exception on a stretch of south coast that is otherwise predominantly rocky. A breakwater attenuates the swells and protects a calm, sandy-bottomed swimming area. The gentle, protected water in this cove makes it a dependable choice for families with young children.

Notes
The Richard Haynes Boardwalk is lined with easy parking, bars and restaurants. The breakwater-protected cove is the sheltered swimming spot at the western end, while the open boardwalk beaches further east carry stronger currents and more waves. This beach is a popular turtle nesting area, so nesting females and hatchlings are occasionally seen.
