Bishop Bay Hot Springs, accessible only by boat on the remote Devastation Channel in British Columbia's Central Coast region, are a series of chloride-rich geothermal springs that emerge directly at the ocean's edge, creating a remarkable juxtaposition of saltwater fjord and freshwater thermal pools on a rugged wilderness shoreline. The springs discharge into a series of rustic cedar-lined pools at the water's edge, with views across the channel to temperate rainforest-draped mountains, accessible via kayak or small boat from the coastal community of Hartley Bay or from passing vessels on the Inside Passage. Bishop Bay represents the quintessential British Columbia wilderness hot spring experience — remote, pristine, and accessible only to those willing to make a genuine journey.
