This all-weather anchorage is popular for those on their way to Princess Louisa Inlet, but many a boater has found the charm of this tight island group compelling enough to remain a day or two. Charming, tranquil, with plenty of kayak or dingy exploration opportunities. Much of the land is private and there are cabins on the shores. You may hike the trail over the height of land to Hidden Basin. Enter from Malaspina Strait through Blind Bay to the southwest of Clio Island, the first and largest island in the group. Watch for uncharted rocks. There is good holding in 2-10 metres, with mud bottom in the outer portion of the bay. The inner bay has some mud and, nearer shore, rock bottom. Take Telescope Passage at the east end of Blind Bay on your way to Princess Louisa.
