These two Doane homesite markers are not located in Cove Burying Ground. They are located about two miles north of Cove just off the bike path which runs from the National Seashore Center to Coast Guard Beach. They are not far from the Doane Rock parking area. The bottom photo was taken many years ago. Looking east it shows the Coast Guard Station in the background.
