North Cove
✨ Hidden gem
North Cove is a quiet anchorage in the Gulf Islands, tucked within the scenic island-dotted waters of the Salish Sea between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland. You'll drop the hook here and enjoy the kind of calm that's hard to find closer to shore, with the forested Gulf Islands landscape as your backdrop. There's no onshore infrastructure — this is a pure at-anchor stop, so come self-sufficient and ready to take in the solitude.
