The bay is one of a few places for swimming on Saba. Cove Bay's swimming area is shielded from waves by a wall of large rocks; these rocks were brought down from Flat Point after being removed to help make airplane approaches easier. Cove Bay is a snorkeling site and dive site. The area is also popular for barbecues and picnics. Sand has been brought in to Cove Bay from St. Maarten, to create an artificial beach.
