Quaco Ledge (45°14'N., 65°22'W.), about 8.8 miles ESE of Quaco Head, consists of a small ridge of rocks surrounded by deep water. The highest part of the ridge dries 4m, and when covered, shows a heavy tide rip. In the vicinity of Quaco Ledge, the tidal currents set parallel to the coast with a maximum velocity of about 2 knots. A lighted bell buoy is moored about 230m NW of the ledge.
