Ripper's Cove
Ripper's Cove is the closest primitive boat in site from Two Harbors. It boasts a protective anchorage and a great reef for snorkeling. It is divided into three separate sites.
About the Sites
Rippers 1 is the furthest east, or closest to Avalon. It has the best sandy beach of the three sites but be sure to check your tide tables – at a 5.8 ft high tide, it’s basically underwater! There is no shade from the sun at this campsite. Max capacity: 10
Rippers 2 is the middle campsite at Ripper’s Cove. There are some large pine trees here that offer the only shade at its location. Max capacity: 4
Rippers 3 is situated at the far west side of the beach, closest to Two Harbors. It is the closest site to the reef for snorkeling. There is no shade from the sun at this campsite. Max capacity: 8
