WHAT AND WHERE IS FURY COVE?

One of the great trading routes of the Northwest is the famed Inside Passage that runs from Washington State thru Canada and into Alaska.  This stunningly beautiful waterway is protected from the North Pacific with nearly 800 miles of safe passage.  It's littered with jaw dropping waterfalls, breaching Humpback whales and black bears that roam the beaches at low tide.  There is one point, however, where one must leave the safety of the passage and head into the unprotected ocean to round a dangerous point of land aptly named Cape Caution. Just past that cape is Fury Island.  With it’s back to the angry ocean, the island's inner core reveals a hidden jewel of the Inside Passage - Fury Cove.  It's calm waters and white shell beaches have hosted centuries of traders.  Native people and First Nations gathered in Fury Cove for safety, trade and fellowship.  Even today you may find a small landing craft sheltering for the night, laden with fresh fruit and vegetables for the communities of the inside passage.  We learned of Fury Cove several decades ago while navigating a small inflatable boat through the Inside Passage on our way to Alaska.  It's a special place and has lingered in our imagination ever since.  At FuryCove.com we are all about rustic, rugged and rare goods of the Pacific Northwest.  We are based on Vashon Island in Washington State.
