Most of Bligh Island and the nearby Spanish Pilot Group form Bligh Island Provincial Marine Park. The island has a rich First Nations archaeological history and is named after Captain Bligh of the Cook expedition. Bligh Cove is at the head of Ewin Inlet and is protected from all weather, with fair holding in 6-8 metres of water. The high surrounding hills are clothed in mature forests. Camping behind a beach with pit privy and fire ring. Kayaking among the numerous islets in the cove is excellent. During settled weather, there are several anchorages in the Spanish Pilot Group, where kayaking and marine life viewing are at their best. Visit or anchor also in Resolute Cove, where Captain Cook refitted the vessel which gave the name to the cove. Two plaques set in a rock cliff on the north shore commemorate his month in the cove.
