There are two small islands off the northwest end of Ruxton Island. They are unnamed. Alongside these islands, opposite the pass coming into Herring Bay, is Long Point. This point has been fairly recently legally named after Ted Long, who is no longer with us. The two small islands are connected to Ruxton Island at low tide. It is quite common to see nude use on both of the small islands, as well as on the point with the marker. Plus, of course, on many of the boats which come into the bay. Topfree use is also common around the bay. [K.E. June 2008]
Directions: Ruxton Island is south of DeCourcey Island, west of Valdez Island, north of Pylades Island, and about 3 1/2 miles east of Yellow Point on Vancouver Island.
