DRURY COVE is a hole-in-the-wall with excellent protection on the southern shore of Kennebecasis Bay, just opposite the mouth of North Channel. The sides of the cove are steep and wooded, and the narrow entrance is well marked and easy.

Approaches. The west side of the mouth of the cove is shoal, and fish pens may be moored off the western point of the entrance. Enter the inner harbor by passing between the red and green spar that mark the channel over a limestone bar. The reported depth is 8 feet.
