Several coves dot the shorelines at the mouth of Breaksea Sound. Those with names are Disappointment, Occasional, Sunday and, shown here, Stevens Cove along Resolution Island. Better inlets for anchorage are further into Breaksea Sound. One is Beach Harbor protected by Harbour Islands. Across the channel are three coves with the uncreative names of First, Second and Third. These are idyllic places for pleasure boats. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Historically, the coves also offer safe harbor from notorious winds that can howl along the coastline reaching speeds up to 80 mph with tumultuous seas.
