Tennessee Cove
Embankment in Marin County, California, US
Tennessee Cove is an embankment off the Pacific Ocean in Marin County, California.[1] It is named after the S.S. Tennessee, a steamship that ran aground near here on March 6, 1853.[2] All 550 passengers climbed safely onto the beach, and fourteen chests of gold were salvaged before the ship broke up.[3] Remnants of the ship can still be seen during low tide during some winter days on the south end of the beach.
The cove is a 1.7-mile (2.7 km) hike from the parking lot near the end of Tennessee Valley Road.[3]
