Part of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, formerly a Provincial Park. This sheltered cove—backed by forested upland, open meadows and a salt marsh—is the most popular day use area on the island. Strong tidal currents rush through Boat Passage, providing whitewater excitement for kayakers. The cove itself offers excellent sheltered moorage. Onshore there is an easy walking trail through the forest and marsh and along the shoreline. Picnic area, pit toilets, short hiking trail.
