Cormorant Cove is a small, picturesque water access space in Seattle, Washington, named after the cormorant birds that frequent the area. It features a boat launch for hand-carried non-motorized boats and offers accessible viewing platforms with a mosaic and a path leading down to the beach. The area is known for its natural beauty and is a popular spot for those looking to enjoy the outdoors. However, it has faced closures due to environmental concerns, such as minor sewage spills, which highlight the importance of maintaining water quality in the region.
The cove is part of a larger effort to restore and enhance Seattle's waterfront areas, including the removal of seawalls and landfill to create more natural habitats and improve beach access.
Despite its small size, Cormorant Cove provides a unique and tranquil setting for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat from urban life.
