The Snug Cove (English for Comfortable Bay ) is a small bay on the east side of the second largest of the Lippmann Islands off the Graham coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it that way in 1959 because it was a safe natural haven for smaller ships, such as the motorboat of the Royal Navy hydrographic unit , which had used the bay between 1957 and 1958.
