Access is only by water, the closest road-accessible put-in and boat ramp is at the dock at Granite Bay, a 30 minute drive from Quathiaski Cove. A powerboat would make short work of the 4 nautical miles (7km) to Granite Point but kayakers will need about an hour to an hour and a half. Kanish Bay faces northwest and in summertime it's not uncommon for a stiff headwind to blow in off Discovery Passage.
