Landing Comments:
Low gradient sand beach to N of point protected from surf except in NE outflow wind. N aspect. Sand beaches S of point often have surf, but headlands give varying protection to parts. S aspect.
Camp Comments:
Beach on N side of point has 3 wooden tent platforms, cleared upland sites for about 6 additional tents, picnic table, picnic shelter, fire pit, composting toilet, metal food lockers. A beach 400 m to E beyond low rocks has 4-6 further tent sites, camp furniture, Random beach camping on sand at various locations depending on tides, plus on at least 3 separate S facing beaches across headland trail. Nice sheltered area to camp on S beach tucked behind a point of land just N of Gross Pt. No fees (2023). Expect long carries.
Other Comments:
Water at seasonal creeks on S beach, E beach, W beach accessible on foot below hide tide or by headland trails. Awkward access to first creek on S beach, Year-round water at head of McLean Cove 0.8 NM NE by boat and at Sandpiper Creek 45 min along S beach.. Attractive. View. See: Rugged Point Provincial Park .
