Shag Cove

Shag Cove is a geographical name, typically referring to a small inlet or cove known for being a habitat for shags, a type of cormorant bird. The name is most often found in coastal regions where these birds are prevalent. Shags are seabirds known for their dark plumage and habit of perching on rocks and cliffs, often near the water's edge. A Shag Cove's specific characteristics, such as size, depth, and surrounding vegetation, can vary greatly depending on its location. The cove might be used by local fishermen, kayakers, or other recreational users, but its defining feature is usually its association with shag populations. The term may also appear on nautical charts and maps.
