It’s always amazing how fast the summer goes isn’t it? Here we are again
heading toward fall! It’s business as usual here at The Cove as the patio
will no doubt be open for the month of September with a warm, dry month
expected.
Music, food and relaxation continue to be the focus here! The weekly
entertainment schedule and daily food specials keep things lively and fresh
around here. Stop in sometime!
All of us at The Cove
