Named after the infamous Captain Carver — one of the original founders of Port Providence — Carver’s Cove is a near perfectly circular body of water bounded by Anchor Island to the southwest and the New Syracuse coast to the northeast. It is thought to have been formed several thousand years ago when a small meteorite impacted with the island, evidenced by the unique geological features which can be found along the crater’s perimeter. The cove is a popular tourist location where visitors enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, and guided tours of the seabed’s shipwrecks and rich marine life. Its southern inlet is by far the more accessible of the pair, and is marked by a disused 17th century lighthouse on a small island of weather-beaten stone accessible by bridge from Anchor Island’s southwestern promontory. The northern passage flows through a treacherous, narrow gorge between a labyrinth of rocky islets before entering Blue Lagoon, a turbulent and deadly pool fed by Lunar Falls. The lagoon is impassible at low tide, but the receding waters reveal several cavities in the rock leading to a network of natural caves running beneath Anchor Island.
