Shelter Cove Harbour

Shelter Cove Harbour, bordering Palmetto Dunes on the west, offers canoeing, deep-sea fishing, sailing, and numerous additional water sports. The marina on Broad Creek is also accessible from the Atlantic; these 15.5 acres contain 170 boat slips for 120-ft boats. The Ship’s Store sells marine supplies, fishing tackle and gear, and upscale clothing brands including shoes, sunglasses, and hats.
