Providence Beach, Broughton Island<\/p><\/div>\n

Broughton Island… Often wanted to stop there, but the conditions were never right.<\/p>\n

It’s wild and pristine (if you overlook the prickly pear that has invaded large areas of the vegetation near the shore).<\/p>\n

There are three campsites in Esmaralda Cove, on timber platforms with tiedowns for the tent lines – very nicely done. I’ll send you photos when I’ve processed them.<\/p>\n

I stayed in North Bay\/Providence Beach as I knew we were due for a southerly overnight, but there’s a footpath across to Esmaralda Cove, only a couple of hundred metres hike. Unfortunately the rest of the island is covered in very dense scrub (and prickly pear) so I couldn’t explore inland or get to the little peak. I tried! I did hike along the shore though and it is very beautiful. Lots of rock pools and kelp beds etc. Must be good snorkeling there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
