| Gray Bay, Moresby Island:
A wilderness beach location found in the rugged backyard of Moresby
Island, which is part of the Queen Charlotte Islands Archipelago.
The recreational wilderness camping park is on the sandy shores
of Gray Bay and is accessed via a well maintained 21 kilometre
active gravel logging road.
Gray Bay is a recreational campground with a
large beach area. The campground onsite enjoys some good size
campsites for campers and grassy ones for tenters. The camping
is on a first come first serve basis. If camping areas are not
in use, people will use them as day-use sites for picnics and
family days spent at the beach.
The beach area is gorgeous and, at low tide, the ocean waters
recede leaving behind hard packed sand. Gray Bay
is a great beach for finding shells and for exploring on long
walks.
Not far from Gray Bay is the Secret
Cove Trail and another trail starts from the south end of
Gray Bay and leads to Cumshewa Head. The Gray Bay-Cumshewa Head
Trail is 3 miles (4.5km) leads to one of the easternmost points
on Moresby Island.
