Boating Part of the San Juan Islands, navigating these waters takes skill. There is a marked reef at the northeast entrance to North Cove and several unmarked, charted rocks along the southeastern shore. During high atmospheric pressure periods, strong northly winds may cause rough waters at North Cove. While low atmospheric conditions subject South Cove to strong southerly winds.

North and South coves are good for anchoring, expect continuous boat wakes from the heavy boat traffic in the summer. The east and west sides of the island do not have good anchorage spots.

Moorage There are Seven mooring buoys available year-round and 128 linear feet of dock moorage, located at the North Cove. The dock is removed early Oct. - early April to prevent winter storm damage. Phone registration is available at buoys.

Moorage fees are charged year round for mooring at docks, floats and buoys from 1 p.m. to 8 a.m. Daily and annual permits are available.
