This group of rugged islands and islets is another place where you will want to linger for several days. Big Bunsby, closest to the mainland, is a Provincial Marine Park. The Park offers sheltered anchorages and excellent sea kayaking opportunities. Nature viewing is fantastic here with grey whales, bald eagles and the endangered sea otter all residing in the area. The Bunsbys are where the extirpated sea otter was first reintroduced between 1969 and 1972 and they thrive again. This is an excellent place to observe inter-tidal marine life, but pleased don’t touch and tread lightly when viewing this sensitive environment. There are four recommended anchorages — Scow Bay, Hollywood Cove, West Nook and Green Head Cove — all offering moderate to good protection, plenty of swing room and a decent bottom for setting the pin. A guidebook and chart are essential for safe navigation. The Bunsby group is best explored by kayak or dinghy.
