Was out cruising the rapids with a crew of eleven year old girls this past weekend.
Went by Shoal Bay, the view from the dock there is unparalleled, looking straight up Phillips Arm.
I have stayed at that dock a few times, always a good time, sometimes cold with winter outflows.

There are two. Pretty sure the one across from the government dock is privately run. Used to be long long ago at least. No idea who or how to contact them.
Did you hike up to the old mine?
Who is living there now. Last time I was at Shoal Bay the guy had a pretty substantial pizza oven going.

I have not docked there since pre COVID, so I have no recent intel.
I was reminded that I want to go back.
Looks like new residential buildings at the points on either side of the bay.

The guy running the pizza oven was there 2020 but I don’t think for the last 2 seasons. Also had taps running for cold beer. Neopolitan style pizza. Beautiful area in general.
Great interlude between morning and afternoon sessions.Thats Mark! He and his partner Cynthia have been there since 2000. They bought it and the whole thing burned to the ground, so have literally started from the ground up. There is an amazing community garden, there was/is a pub with the best ceasars (dont forget to bring cash), showers and laundry. The tricky part is getting a space on the dock. Shoal Bay is one of my favorite places. https://shoalbay.ca/

I met a guy at Blind Channel, last year, who spotted a Grizzly turning over rocks on the beach. Beautiful spot! Blind Channel is another cool spot to stop. They’ve got a decent restaurant and they make awesome cinnamon buns. There’s a short hike to some old growth trees too.

We stopped there on the same trip.
Hiked up to the big cedar and the snag, then some ice cream.
Blind Channel had a great Father's Day lunch going on, looked tasty, but we were on a mission and had to continue to Shark Spit for swimming.
We went to there one year in the winter, left CR in heavy overcast, arrived at Blind Channel with six inches of snow on the deck!
Very welcoming operation.

Been there done that. Me and my dad almost never made it home. The waves were unreal. Our guide literally radio'd in for help. I'll never forget masset inlet.
Fishing was killer though!
Hi. So I have my charts and I see the wiah point. Seems there might be a lodge there now, was it there when you went? Leaving next week can’t. Wait. Did you do any prawning around the area or anchoring? In Nadine ?

Not sure about what charts you're seeing a lodge at but on my Navionics I still just see a public dock at Wiah Pt (tucked in behind refuge island). Don't think there's a new lodge there but I was there 4 years ago and just an old dock to tie up at. Enjoy.
Ok thanks I just saw a Wiah Point Lodge and wondered if it was there cheers!
