This well protected spot is about as serene as you will find on the Penders. The shell midden above the gravel beach is testimony to millennia of habitation. Medicine Beach Bird Sanctuary is behind Medicine Beach and contains rare plants. Walk softly and restrain pooches (best to not bring them). The sanctuary is one of only a few saltwater marshes left in the area. The beach is a wide crescent with long walks possible. There are cliffs at the north end of the beach with stairs to a viewing platform. From there it is a short hike to a convenience store and café with free wi-fi. So, here is a place you can get away and stay connected, if you desire. Anchor in front of the beach in 4-5 m with good holding in mud and gravel.
