Tennessee Cove
Tennessee Cove is an embankment off the Pacific Ocean in Marin County, California. It is named after the "S.S. Tennessee", a steamship that ran aground near here on March 6, 1853. All 550 passengers climbed safely onto the beach, and fourteen chests of gold were salvaged before the ship broke up. Remnants of the ship can still be seen during low tide during some winter days on the south end of the beach.
The cove is a hike from the parking lot near the end of Tennessee Valley Road.Landmarks
