Normally entered from Plumper Sound and Navy Channel from the west and southwest. Entry can be made from the Strait of Georgia to the northeast through Boat Passage which separates Samuel Island and Saturna Island, but care must be exercised in the passage where currents can run to seven knots. Minx Reef can pose a hazard on the way in from Plumper Sound. Anchorage is sheltered except from northwest winds. There is only about two metres of water at low tide.
Boat launch for small boats only.
Accessible by car ferry from Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island and from nearby islands. No camping or overnight stays.
