Hiking

Atop a hill overlooking the community is a whimsical whale’s tail monument built in 1967.  The monument celebrates the close association of Whale Cove residents with the resources of the sea.  At one time the local co-op operated a cannery in Whale Cove, and shipped canned muktuk or whale blubber to the south.  From the hill or the monument, visitors can easily see the whole community.
