The beach that skirts the cove is small, but features lovely white sand and clear water that invites snorkeling and swimming. Small boats can pull right up to the beach as long as they keep clear of the scattered rocks, but larger vessels will need to anchor just offshore. Kettle Cove is well protected from southerly winds, which makes it a great spot during the summer. Just be sure to heed the signage and not wander inland. Oh, and be aware that there are no public restrooms here.
