A "must see" place! Once through the Entrance, head NE and then SE to Anchorage 1, in 16m, the easiest one to reach.

Go through the narrows into Geographic Harbor, noting that there is a Rock awash in mid-channel, but deep water on either side.

A small boat could find a very secure heavy weather anchorage at Anchorage 2, in 3.4m, through a very narrow Lagoon Entrance.

Numerous bears along the shoreline.
