Effingham Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor in this beautifully sheltered bay on Effingham Island, tucked within the Broken Group Islands off Vancouver Island's west coast. It's the kind of place where the scenery does the talking — rocky islets, sea caves, and driftwood-strewn beaches are all within easy reach by dinghy or kayak. A popular spot, so you may share the anchorage with a few others, but the surrounding wilderness makes it well worth it.
