About this site
Smugglers Cove sits along the Nova Scotia coastline, at coordinates placing it near the province's southwestern shore. A single source reports a maximum depth of around 12 metres, generally suited to beginner divers, with lobster reported in the cove. The same source notes hazards to be aware of, including high tidal variation, slippery rocks, tidal surge at the cove mouth, and westerly winds that can create waves and surge.
