Sheephead Cove

Sheephead Cove is an anchorage spot where you drop the hook and settle in for some genuine quiet. The sheltered position behind the islands keeps things calm, making it a solid pick if you're looking for a peaceful overnight away from busier spots. The Squirrel Neck Loop trail is accessible nearby if you want to stretch your legs on land.
