Top Snorkeling and Scuba Diving in Terence Bay

Sandy Cove, Terence Bay

The sand in the shallows gives way to gravel and small cobble with granite boulders and bedrock ridges cloaked in rich seaweeds. Outside the cove straight out is a sand plain running to 35' deep. There is a nice dive outside the cove cutting right, and following the granite ridge and boulders that make up the headland. Cruising along the flank of the ridge gives great rocky shore marine life and a wealth of sandy bottom life too. Lobsters, 3 types of crabs, Cunner, Pollock, flounder species, Cunner, Moon Snails and thousands of Sand Dollars are all easily found at this site. Protected form the south and west, open only to the northeast. Walk in from sand beach with lots of parking just above the beach in the round-about where the road ends
