Winter Cove is very protected and has excellent holding grounds for anchoring. There are shallow spots, including a sandbar in the middle of the cove, so keep an eye on your sounder and the tides when deciding on a spot to drop the hook! 

At the northern tip of Saturna Island at Winter Point. Broad sand and mud beaches are backed by forested upland with numerous open areas. Normally entered from Plumper Sound and Navy Channel from the west and southwest. Entry can be made from the Strait of Georgia to the northeast through Boat Passage which separates Samuel Island and Saturna Island, but care must be exercised in the passage where currents can run to seven knots. Minx Reef can pose a hazard on the way in from Plumper Sound. Anchorage is sheltered except from northwest winds. There is only about two metres of water at low tide. Picnicking. Drinking water. Toilets. Walking trails

Facilities:
Marine Park with Anchorage, launch ramp in Winter Cove.

Boat Passage is a narrow (30 foot wide) pass between Mayne and Saturna.

Hazards:
Boats - there's not much room in the passage.

The passage is quite shallow - only 4 feet or so at low water.

During Strong currents it may look like Niagara Falls.

Lots of boats go through at high slack.
