Landing Comments:
Moderate gradient beach of angular broken rock to cobble size, occasional boulders. S aspect. Protected from most directions except SW, S, SE. Many drift logs. Preferred landing beach lies on W side of rocky promontory in longer small cove known as Cliff Cove. Outer bay known as Sled Bay.
Camp Comments:
Potential sites for approx. 4 tents in sloping vegetated upland above Cliff Cove. Requires work, e.g. levelling or platforms. Hammock opportunities. Damp.
