There are three anchorages in Buccaneer Bay, which lies between the north and south islands. The drop-off is rapid at the head of Buccaneer Bay, so anchoring is convenient. The north and south islands are joined, except at HW by a sandbar that is an inviting beach. These islands offer several anchorages and are worth at least a day visit on your voyage. We recommend you carry a recognized guidebook. We do not provide navigational instruction in this guide. We recommend that you read our Travel in First Nations Traditional Territories guide so you can be confident that you are respecting the culture of the original inhabitants. There are many archaeological and sacred sites on the mainland and coastal islands. You will travel in the traditional territory of skwxwú7mesh Nation, shíshálh Nation, Tla’amin Nation, and Klahoose Nation. We begin in the south, at the base of Howe Sound. We list many of these, and fill in the gaps with marinas and communities. Most of the Sunshine Coast is exposed and does not offer secluded anchorages. And the Sound is geographically part of the Sunshine Coast. We have included Desolation Sound in this guide, because so many boaters are on the way up the Sunshine Coast to that fabled destination. It is like a microcosm of the entire coast, with deep fjords, tightly knit archipelagos, secluded havens, punctuated by hospitable communities, each with its own character. The Sunshine Coast is popular because it is close to metropolitan areas. This guide to anchorages should be used in tandem with the maps of Sunshine Coast/Princess Louisa Inlet and Desolation Sound, found under the Explore tab at the top of the page. ![]()
