About this site
Loblolly Cove is a small, secluded cove with a sand beach and a rocky headland, reached by narrow footpaths winding through the brush to the water. Depths reach 40 to 45 feet (about 14 m), and the dive is graded beginner to intermediate.
Entry and exit are easiest from the sand beach. Offshore, past the right-hand point, the ledge gets more interesting, with large cracks snaking through it and medium-sized boulders all around. Lobsters live in the many caverns and crags among the rocks, along with numerous invertebrates and fish.
Old steel cables lie underwater and can snag loose gear. The site can be rough with easterly or northerly wind.
