Narvaez Bay

Most of the Bay is surrounded by steep shores and the GI Park Reserve. There are several locations for landing a dinghy and maintained hiking trails take you to viewpoints. There is temporary anchorage near the head and room for a few over-night boats in the cove behind the anvil-shaped peninsula on the S shore near the entrance. A great spot when the westerlies and north-westerlies blow, it is exposed to anything coming from the E. Depths are 4-6. The bottom is unstable and so a stern line is recommended. Narvaez Bay Campsite is near this little cove. The site is remarkable for rugged shorelines and a rare arbutus-Garry Oak forest.
