Refuge Cove, B.C., is a year-round community on West Redonda Island in the heart of the Desolation Sound area of the Inside Passage.

It serves as a centrally located supply stop for boaters travelling in or near Desolation Sound, offering a wide range of services including moorage, fuel, groceries, ice, showers, laundry, espresso, and other supplies.

Hundreds of boaters stop here daily during the summer, relaxing and provisioning for their Desolation Sound adventures.

Visitors travelling by car can take BC Ferries from Vancouver or Victoria to Powell River, and drive the short distance northward to Lund.

From there, a private boat or Access Point Marine Transport can take visitors the rest of the way to Refuge Cove, about 13 miles.
