Shoal Bay Public Dock Approach and Docking

Join us aboard our Bayliner 4788 as we navigate the approach and docking at Shoal Bay, a historic and charming stop on the east side of East Thurlow Island in the Discovery Islands, British Columbia. Nestled in a small horseshoe-shaped bay off Cordero Channel and Phillips Arm, this remote gem lies along the popular Inside Passage route, near the challenging rapids of Dent, Yuculta, and Gillard Pass—making it a strategic and scenic layover for cruisers timing tidal transits or exploring the rugged waters between Vancouver Island and the mainland. In this video, we capture the complete process of approaching Shoal Bay (mind the shallows that give the bay its name—keep an eye on depths and stay toward the outer end for anchoring or docking), maneuvering into the protected bay, and tying up at the public government dock, which offers low-cost moorage (often with rafting encouraged) for a range of vessel sizes. Shoal Bay Lodge and The Cottages at Shoal Bay provide a rustic, welcoming, off-grid experience Once a bustling cannery and mining townsite (once the largest on the West Coast), Shoal Bay today offers a peaceful, laid-back vibe with incredible views of the mainland mountains, abundant wildlife, and a true sense of remote coastal British Columbia charm—perfect for those seeking tranquility, history, and a break from busier marinas.
