Laurel Cove (3)
I believe the answer is:
bay
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'laurel' is the first definition.
(bay is a kind of laurel)
'cove' is the second definition.
(both can mean a coastal inlet)
(Other definitions for bay that I've seen before include "Tree; horse; bark loudly" , "Inlet, cove" , "Curved inlet; tree" , "laurel maybe" , "Small alcove" .)
