About This Access Site
Coffman Cove offers a convenient boat ramp and harbor access to the waters of Clarence Strait in southeast Alaska. The boat ramp provides easy loading and unloading for kayakers, canoeists, and small recreational boats. The adjacent harbor has 60 permanent moorage slips and 180 feet of transient docking, with access to freshwater and power.

Clarence Strait is a large, open-water channel that connects the Pacific Ocean to the inside waters of southeast Alaska. Boaters and paddlers can expect generally calm conditions, but should be prepared for potential wind and waves common in this exposed waterway. The shoreline around Coffman Cove offers opportunities for beachcombing and wildlife viewing, including whale sightings. Access to the site is via boat, floatplane, or the scenic road network on Prince of Wales Island.
