·We live with the ocean and so are mindful of what goes in the water. Nothing goes down the drains except bio-waste, toilet paper and biodegradable cleaning products. Please use the screens in the kitchen sink.
Please do not leave food or waste outside. We have no waste pick up, but we do have wildlife! Recycling info will be available.
Please no beach fires when bans are in effect (usually after May).
We have many winged, finned and four-legged neighbours who have been known to visit, some more regularly than others: Sealions, otters, seals, porpoise, whales, salmon, mackerel, anchovies, gulls, eagles, herons, ravens, crows, osprey, oyster catchers, buzzards, owls, loons, ducks, swans, bats, frogs, and all number of songbirds live in or visit the bay depending on the seasons. Bears, wolves, bobcats and cougars may also pass through from time to time, but rarely encountered. We recommend always bringing bear spray when hiking.
If you hear groaning and grunting it is likely the raft of stellar sealions whose home is the McRea Islets across from the house. You might see them playing and fishing. They are goofy and curious, busy eating most of the time, but as with all wildlife we don’t approach them, and especially do not kayak close to the islets as they are territorial on their home turf.
