Russell Island stands off the entrance to Fulford Harbour. The little island is an ecological treasure house with pocket shell beaches and old-growth forests with massive arbutus, which are connected by a circular trail. An old homestead, a monument to mixed Hawaiian-Indigenous heritage, sits among orchards planted more than a century ago. There is room for about a dozen boats on the NW aspect. The National Park Service provides a dinghy dock. Anchor in 5-10 metres over rock and gravel. Well protected from all directions except N. Fulford Harbour is close by with a number of amenities including a bakery and small grocery store.
