James Bay
✨ Hidden gem
James Bay is a sheltered anchorage tucked along the shores of James Island in Haro Strait, where you drop the hook and take in sweeping views of the surrounding Southern Gulf Islands. The setting is quiet and genuinely remote-feeling, with the low-lying island's meadows and shoreline within easy reach by dinghy. Keep an eye out for the wildlife and birdlife that make this stretch of the strait worth the detour.
