Shark Cove

This cozy cove is minutes from Medicine Beach via the Pender Canal. Canal depth is 2 m at LW and has modest currents when the tide is running. The bridge over the canal has an 8 m clearance at slack water. Entry into the Cove from N is unobstructed. Protected in all weather, but a bit of a through-fare with frequent wake disturbance. Mortimer Spit offers plenty of room to stretch the legs and is a lovely picnic spot. There are homes around the cove. The best anchorage is off of them on the W side of the cove, out of the passage route. Depths of 4-5 m in good-holding mud.
