This is the prominent headland you can easily spot from South and Southwest Cove beaches; the views out over the lake are incredible.

Many say that South Beach is more picturesque than North Beach on Lake Willoughby, but both offer up great views of this glacial lake and the surrounding peaks. The water is crystal clear and invites you in for a swim. You can also rent kayaks should you have some extra time to spend in the area.
