A roomy lookout on the cliffs above the arm, with rock to scramble on and huge views across the water. Belugas follow the salmon in on the incoming tide, so check a tide table and wait. Watch the bore tide and the soft mud below if you wander.

Good to know

  • Arrive about an hour after low tide
  • Stay off the mudflats
