Gull Cove is best known as a fishing area along the very busy Route 24. There are a handful of trails here, with a beach walk, make for a walk of a mile. This walk is tide dependent however as most of the trail along the shore can be submerged at higher tides. The trail head is not easy to find as well unless you are looking for it. About halfway down the access road is a widening to park vehicles. A trail follows the north shore of a cove before heading into a small wooded area and up a small hill. There are a small network of trails in this wooded area known as Rye Island. At the eastern edge of the woods the trail comes out near the beach area. A path follows the shore between the woods and the sea grass to a point on Long Neck Goose. At the point retrace your steps. The beach areas also offering an abundance of hermit crabs to view.
