Landing Comments:
2 pebble beaches of moderate gradient with 1 m high bank. Beaches sit between small rock outcrops. A reporter could not find suitable landing beach at high water (3.6 m). NW aspect. Currents, vessel traffic.
Camp Comments:
Dispersed camping permitted. Moderately level sites in attractive open forest, some on old roadbed, about 20 m above either of pebble beaches. Minor brushing likely required. No fires. Precise location might vary depending on site chosen. A reporter could find no suitable tent sites 2023.
