Directions from the People Ferry to Pirate's Cove
From downtown head toward the Westin. That means you take route 104 from the traffic circle. Itโs a one way road that only leads away from the traffic circle. You will pass The Marketplace/Starfish Market on your left. After that, you turn right in between the dumpsters and the basketball court. Round a bend and go over a speed bump. Head up the hill. We are the 4th driveway on the right after the speed bump. Itโs the lower level of a light blue house.
If you have luggage, itโs best to grab a cab because the hill up to Pirateโs Cove is steep.
