The Village of Yuquot at Friendly Cove on Nootka Island affords an opportunity to experience First Nations culture and hospitality. For countless generations, this was a permanent settlement. It became a centre for trade between the Mowachaht/Muchalaht and European fur traders. It is worth going ashore and exploring history and contemporary First Nations culture. A landing fee is required (cash only), which gives you access to the Catholic church, beach, campgrounds, trail to the lake and the causeway that leads to the lighthouse, which is built on the former site of a Spanish Fort. Protected from W and NW winds, but exposed to easterlies. Anchor in 5-8 metres of water in good holding sand.
