Folly Cove

Gloucester

Folly Cove is a classic dive spots in the area. Divers can explore each rocky side of the cove, both teaming with life. For those who are more adventurous, surface swim out to the left opening of the cove and you'll see that you can quickly submerge 60 feet (not bad for a shore dive!). The downside of this beach is that Folly Cove isn't just teaming with marine life, it's also teaming with very slippery rocks, making the entrance and exit quite difficult at times. You'll probably hear the stories of people rolling their ankles, or possibly breaking them. Be very careful here.
