Kettle Cove is a small, almost unknown, swimming location on the ocean . It's a small beach area located just north of Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. From Rt 77 turn left on Kettle Cove Road and at the end is a small parking area. In the summer, it's virtually impossible to find a place to park. If you manage to find a place, Kettle Cove will be on your left, and an entrance to Crescent Beach will be slightly up from the parking lot on the right. The ocean water in Kettle Cove tends to be cold, as with all ocean beaches in Maine. There are small trails that venture behind the beach. It's a great place to relax and soak up the sun. Be sure to bring a beach chair because the sand can be rocky and full of shells at times. |
