The owner of this beautiful and rugged island has given permission for kayakers to use this island for overnight tenting if passing through the area and need a place to overnight before paddling along the coast further or for emergency landing. You may make a campfire near the tide line.<\/p>\n

There is a shelter and outhouse on the north end of the island and a safe cove here for landing. Please respect the property and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153take pictures and leave only footprints\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

There is a narrow path along the west side well worn by sheep that live on the island, this is a very interesting and rugged walk to the south end of the island. Besides sheep living on Blue Island there are a few Highland Cattle.<\/p>\n

It is possible to land in Blackbeards Cove if wind conditions allow.<\/p>\n
