Coastal research site on Auke Bay offering rocky shorelines, docks, small boats, tide pools and frequent marine activity against a backdrop of forested hills and distant mountains. Best at golden hour or low tide for exposed intertidal textures and reflections; summer yields more whales, seals and seabirds. Easily reached by car with roadside parking but respect posted signs and avoid restricted lab buildings. Expect variable weather—dress layered and waterproof.
