Schooner Cove
Schooner Cove sits in Nanoose Bay on the east coast of Vancouver Island, offering a sheltered anchorage with good holding ground and a quietly scenic backdrop of forested shoreline. You're within easy reach of the Schooner Cove marina community if you need to stretch your legs ashore, and the surrounding Nanoose Bay area is known for its rockfish-rich waters worth exploring. It's a solid overnight anchor spot when you want calm conditions and a low-key setting.
