Anchor Pass Cabin

About this site

Overview Anchor Pass Cabin is open year-round and serves as a halfway point for those traveling around Revillagigedo Island. This secluded retreat sits on the mainland across from the east end of Bell Island, offering scenic views and myriad recreational opportunities. The site can be accessed by floatplane, boat or kayak, depending on conditions. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. Recreation This area offers good saltwater fishing for halibut, rockfish, red snapper and salmon, as well as shrimping and crabbing opportunities. There may be some restrictions on sport fishing for salmon in areas close to the cabin. Sea kayaking is an extremely popular way of getting around, but visitors must provide their own equipment and consult tide charts before setting out (local tide charts). Hunting is possible in designated seasons with the proper permit.
