Nick’s Cove Boat Shack Reopens Nearly Two Years After Fire

The rebuilt pier cabin returns as a gathering spot with a new gas heater replacing the wood stove linked to the 2024 blaze.

Overview

  • The restored boathouse at the end of Nick’s Cove’s 400-foot pier is now welcoming visitors, according to the Marin Independent Journal and a Nick’s Cove announcement reported by KTVU.
  • KTVU reports the space operates during business hours on a casual counter-service model for food and drinks from the restaurant.
  • New features include a large picture window facing Tomales Bay and Hog Island, a custom communal table, vintage nautical decor and a replacement upright piano.
  • Fire officials said embers escaping the former wood-burning stove likely caused the 2024 fire, and the new shack now uses a gas heater.
  • Sonoma Magazine earlier noted permitting questions and a Dec. 7 Santa visit as a limited event, highlighting recent confusion over public access.
