Bishop Bay Hot Springs
Hot Spring
An oceanside hot spring accessible only by boat.
Accessible only by boat along the Ursula Channel in Bishop Bay, one may indulge in the warm, soothing waters of Bishop Bay Hot Springs, sourced from a crack in the bedrock just a few meters above the high-tide mark. The bathhouse, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the north coast, offers a 3 meter (10 feet) wide, 1 meter deep concrete-block pool and a smaller, cooler vent for those seeking a varying temperature experience. The overflow water from the main pool flows into a small tub located outside the bathhouse.
A small campground, complete with covered picnic tables and outhouses, provides a peaceful haven for those seeking an extended stay. During the fishing season, the hot springs attract crowds of nature lovers and adventurers, with several dozen boats tied up at the dock and anchored in the bay, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
