A short footpath off Barley Neck Rd drops onto a small strip of shore on the east side of Town Cove, with its own patch of beach and a spot for boat moorings rather than a formal ramp. It reads as a neighborhood cove access more than a destination beach, and it is easy to overlook if you are not looking for landing #27.
