One of the best-kept secrets of Desolation Sound is Okeover Arm. Situated at the start of Desolation Sound, the warm waters of Okeover inlet are a haven for wilderness kayaking, canoeing and sailing. These inviting waters are also home to a large mariculture industry, in particular oysters and clams.

You can reach Okeover by boat entering at Sarah Point on Malaspina Peninsula, or by road driving 20 minutes north of Powell River on the Lund Highway to Malaspina Road. Your hosts in Okeover Recreation are Powell river Sea Kayaking, Desolation Resort, and the Laughing Oyster Restaurant.

Explore the hidden coves and tiny islets of Okeover with Powell River Kayaking; glide over sub-tidal marine gardens; join a kayak adventure in Desolation Sound Marine Park, or experience a traditional Coast Salish salmon barbecue. If larger boats are more to your liking, let Desolation Resort take you for a trip on their 33 foot cabin cruiser to Teakern Arm Marine Park, or the Copeland Islands, or Prideaux Haven, or Roscoe Bay Marine Park. Take your pick!

Okeover also boasts exciting scuba diving, the Sunshine Coast Hiking Trail on Malaspina Peninsula, numerous working oyster farms, and wonderful sailing waters with sheltered anchorages such as Grace Harbour.

At the end of a long summer day, you can return to your luxury accommodations at Desolation Resort situated at the head of Okeover inlet. Relax in your steam shower before dining on fine cuisine (with its own special west coast flavour) at the Laughing Oyster Restaurant.
