⚠️ Dock Slip Re-OpeningPark staff have worked to make critical repairs and address safety concerns on the docks, and we have opened 16 slips that are now available. We understand the importance of providing recreational boating infrastructure for the public and are working hard to ensure continued access. In addition to the 16 day-use slips, moorings are also open and there is a 15-minute zone on the dock, as well as a slip for dinghies or other small watercraft to land and pay for mooring fees. Please beware of shallow water in the mooring field at low tides.

China Cove Beach Warning
Oil and oil sheening has been observed near the shoreline at China Cove where the Immigration Station Bell is located. Oil and oily film on the surface of the water may worsen after rainfall due to a historic release of oil from tanks in operation when the federal government controlled the island prior to 1963. Water contact may cause illness and swimming and fishing at China Cove are not recommended. China Cove is the only beach on the island where oil and sheening have been observed.
