Dry Cove is a coastal feature on the north shore of Rankin Inlet in Nunavut. It is situated on the east side of Hudson Bay. The north shore of Rankin Inlet is bordered by drying ledges and reefs extending up to three miles offshore. This indicates that paddlers must exercise extreme caution when approaching the shoreline, as extensive shallow areas and rocks become exposed at low tide. The tidal range in this region is significant, with mean and large tides at nearby Marble Island measuring 2.5 and 3.7 meters respectively. Strong cross-currents and tide rips have been reported in the entrance to Rankin Inlet, typically flowing southwest at one knot on the flood tide, though they can sometimes reverse direction. These conditions necessitate careful tide planning for any paddling trip, with an understanding that currents can be powerful and unpredictable. The area is remote and exposed, with no specific launch facilities or amenities for paddlers. A notable landmark is False Knoll, located four miles to the west-northwest on the east side of Dry Cove, which is visually similar to the more distant Twin Knolls. The overall character of paddling here is one for experienced, self-sufficient kayakers prepared for Arctic conditions, significant tidal changes exposing hazards, and potentially strong currents.
