Whether you choose to beach your boat on one of the many island beaches or travel just north of Thorne Bay to Sandy Beach at low tide, you won’t be disappointed with the tidepool life nor the treasures one might find hidden from all until your eyes spot it. There also, guided beach tours available to some of the outlying islands.

Please always be mindful of wildlife and exercise caution when going into more remote areas.

The angler will find a large variety of vendors for day charters. Be sure to check price and compare services which are included in the fee, because they can vary. We encourage you to make your reservations early!
