Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Brace Cove offers some of New England's richest reef diving.
Brace Cove offers a straightforward New England shore dive, often used for training or a quick local splash. The sandy bottom gradually slopes, dotted with rocks and kelp beds where you might spot lobster, crabs, and flounder. It’s an accessible spot for newer divers getting comfortable with cold water or experienced divers looking for an easy entry. Visibility can vary, as with most shore dives in the region, so check conditions locally.
