Blunden Harbour is on the outer rim of the Broughtons, within easy range from Port Hardy. It is haven on an otherwise long stretch of exposed coastline. The best anchorage is nestled within a mini-archipelago with tremendous variety of shoreline, including mudflats, several streams, shell beaches, and many-coloured rocks. The basin, located behind Robinson Island, is large enough for several boats and is protected in all weather. The entrance to the harbour is narrow between rocks. Caution is advised. At the beginning of the 20th century, this was home to the ‘Nak’waxda’xw people, famously painted by Emily Carr. You may wish to stay for a couple of nights, to explore the many nooks and to enjoy excellent fishing and crabbing. Watch the tides or you will get stranded by current or mud.
