Plan to spend a couple days here to savour the inlets moods and changes. The dock space at Chatterbox Falls can be busy in July and August, but space usually opens up with the daily departures. And there are many places to anchor with rock bolts for a stern line. Some like to anchor on the bar right in front of the big falls, and there are numerous other waterfalls to explore. Sometimes mountain goats are seen on ledges up in the heights.
Swimming can be very enjoyable in the inlet's fresh clean water.
Out of peak season visitors are rewarded by having this paradise almost to themselves, and the waterfalls are most impressive in May - June. Overlooking the Malibu Rapids is the Malibu Club, built as a millionaires resort 50 years ago, is now operated by the Young Life Christian organization who bring youth from all across North America to spend a week in this wonderful setting. They welcome visitors at their dock just inside the rapids and give guided tours. Heading out, the right hand shoreline of Jervis Inlet features a number of old abandoned homesteads and mining explorations. There has been some selective logging activity with helicopters in this area with the location varying from year to year,and this can be a very interesting operation to observe.
