We are so happy that Leigh is returning to the Cove this year for another season of hosting our guests. Leigh has guided in Alaska for many years, and is currently a kayak guide on Kauai. She is the welcoming party when guests arrive at the Cove, and she makes sure everyone is safe and sound in their yurts and on the water.

Fox Island & the Fox Island Spit

Fox Island & the Fox Island Spit

Fox Island is a premier kayaking destination within Resurrection Bay. Not only is the island itself full of geological and literary history, it is also within short reach of additional kayaking destinations including Humpy Cove and El Dorado Narrows. Our yurts at Shearwater Cove are only a short paddle from all three of these destinations.
