Quiet place to lay anchor (4)

I believe the answer is:

cove

(Other definitions for cove that I've seen before include "A small sea inlet or slangy man" , "sheltered recess at Lulworth?" , "Rum fellow found in a small inlet" , "A small inlet or estuary" , "Small bay or Dickensian chap" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
