Winter Cove

Tucked between Samuel and Saturna Islands, Winter Cove is one of those spots where you drop the hook and genuinely don't want to leave. The anchorage is well-sheltered in most conditions, making it a reliable choice when you're reading the weather. Stick around long enough and you'll catch both the sunrise and sunset putting on a show — the framing between the two islands makes them genuinely special.
