Prideaux Haven
✨ Hidden gem
Prideaux Haven is one of those anchorages you'll hear about long before you arrive — a legendary spot on the BC coast tucked into Desolation Sound with remarkably warm swimming water that feels almost tropical for the Pacific Northwest. The bay offers excellent all-round protection with a good holding seabed, so you can set the hook and relax. Drop the swim ladder and enjoy the water, or explore the surrounding shoreline by dinghy.
