A light marks the northwestern tip. First called Cala de del Descanso meaning small bay of rest, by the Spanish explorers Galiano and Valdes in 1792. The bay is exposed to the north and west, as well as to the wash of passing ferries. To the south, steep bluffs are covered with the evidence of birds who use the cliffs as their home.
