Where We Are

Drifters Cove is located on the Southwest corner of Denny Island, at the intersection of Llama Pass and Hunter Channel. Denny Island is the same island that hosts the community of Shearwater, directly across from Bella Bella, but Shearwater is only accessible by boat. There is a marine navigation light on Walker Island that is at Drifters Cove.
