The Cove is an insider scoop. Located in the waters behind the Chart House, accessible via Gulf of Mexico Drive – or by sea – it’s the perfect place to launch a kayak, paddleboard, or any water-buoyant device. Locals spend hours upon hours boating, rafting, partying, fishing and sunbathing in these shallow waters.
