Cape Kalekhta

The extremity and western side of the cape are rugged, precipitous cliffs, with a few rocks but no beach at the water line.

Seen from a distance, its north end is convex in outline, being steepest at the water and sloping more gently toward the summit.

North and west from Cape Kalekhta, distant 0.75 mile, is the outer extremity of a dangerous ledge which is usually well marked by breakers.

The cape should be given a berth of 1.75 miles to clear the ledge, as the strong tidal currents may tend to carry a vessel on it.

[2] Priest Rock, close-to off the northwest side of Cape Kalekhta, is a pinnacle about 80 feet high.
