Description
The smaller and more easterly of the Talbot islands, Outer Talbot provides a convenient stopping point for those exploring the wildlife rich waters of Straight Bay. Home to an abundance of eagles and seals, Straight Bay is an ecological treasure and all visitors to this area should take extra care to minimize any potential disturbance that their presence may cause. Please remember to view wildlife from a distance, keep noise to a minimum and keep all food items secure.
On the northeast shore of Outer Talbot, the forest that covers most of the island is broken by a wet grassy patch that provides a reasonable landing option at most tides. Once on shore, one can find a quiet spot to rest, stretch, eat and observe the nearby (often curious) wildlife while keeping a low profile. Visitors are welcome to explore the shoreline and the forested interior of the island, but there are no trails or established use areas above the tide line.
