If you were hoping to camp at the oceanside cliff tent sites that used to be here, they are no longer open in 2020. HOWEVER...This area is really pretty, but best seen from the water. We did a 3 hour afternoon kayak tour (high Adventure tours) and our guide took us right past the huge rock arch called Hole in the Wall and then on up to the Swallowtail lighthouse, through a fishing weir, and then back to see the Seven Days Work basalt cliffs. We saw tons of seals and our guide was so amazing -his name was Brody or Brady (Sorry - can't recall which!) but absolutely ask for him. He had great stories to tell and we had only ever been in a kayak once before but we felt ABSOLUTELY safe with him - if you've never been in a sea kayak, this is DEFINITELY the place to give it a try! It was the absolute highlight of our vacation!

The GMWSRS is a multi-purpose not-for-profit facility that has a tiny marine natural history museum about the largest marine animals (Gaskin Marine Natural History Museum), a gift shop to help fund our operations with many local and Maritime crafts and gifts, and staff quarters for researchers and interns. Conveniently located across from the ferry ticket office, it is a great place to stop for a few minutes. Access to the museum is by donation.

My family and I hit all the beaches and hot spots on the island and the beach at Anchorage was my favorite. Miles of sand and so peaceful. Afterwards we took a drive through the bird sanctuary which is beautiful as well.

We usually prefer rocky beaches as they're better for beachcombing but this really is a great sandy beach and we enjoyed going for a walk and watching some surfers and some kids playing in the waves. Also found a bit of sea glass which is always fun.
