The cove you speak of, is known as
Johnson's Cove. (It's misspelled on local street signs—go figure
). On older charts, it is termed "
Ike's Cove".
From Johnson's Cove, there's no particular view of mountains, but properly anchored away from the sandbar, the wide
Sandwich Range lies far-off in the distance.
Wow...just this minute, a big light-blue-over-white "Formula" just headed right past there—and quietly! 
(6:47AM).
Better get there "earlier":
Old guys in oversized boats (who fly "the martini" burgee) get to the tiny sand-bar
first! 
ETA:
Yesterday (Tuesday) four kayakers (visiting nearby) paddled around this area at 9-PM.
They are in Middle-Eastern garb—and I haven't heard a word of any European language.
(Except for the word "OK").
