Looking west on Flying Point towards Martinique Beach. May, 2002. The islands are full of old-growth, unlogged, pristine forest. The air quality is so good that The forests on Bayers Islands are a healthy mix of deciduous and evergeen tree species.
Here we can see one of the old fishing cabins that were built in the 1920's, but are now unused and in disrepair. The views off Flying Point are spectacular. Outlying islands lend perspective to the ocean views. The old Jeddore Cape lighthouse can be seen from this spot as well. The islands are covered with lush, fragrant, beautiful vegetation.
The heath looking west from Flying Point towards Martinique Beach. Taken in late spring, this shows the marshy area behind Flying and Middle Point during a tide change Spectacular sunrises, and sunsets, can be seen daily on Bayers Islands.
The forests are a healthy mix of old and new growth. The middle bedrock promontory on Martinique Beach, taken from a helicopter. Behind the beach, we can see the marshes that make up the game sanctuary. A helicopter view of the end of Martinique Beach, part of Flying Point, Middle Point, and part of Bayers Point.
Here the helicopter gives us a good glimpse of Flying Point and part of Middle Point. Looking back on Flying Point and the end of Martinique Beach. Flying Point, the ideal spot to build a lighthouse-inspired vacation home
The sound of waves crashing on the rocks ... The morning fog on Flying Point, looking back at the marshes The rocks naturally occurring along the shore ensures that this island isn't going anywhere
Beauty abounds at every turn The salt marsh at high tide, late spring. The water is so clean here. There is no industry in the area, and no sprawl. This large rock on Bayers Point is a good place to relax, have a picnic, and look back at one of your three large ocean coves.
The well-maintained road that runs behind Martinique Beach, stopping about half way to Bayers Islands (it's a 30-40 minute hike from here to the islands). On the right is part of the game sanctuary. Another view on the Martinique Beach service road, looking back at the marshes at high tide. A couple sits and enjoys the view. Just follow the boardwalk up from the parking area through the dunes, and you're on Martinique Beach
These flowers were growing in the dunes of Martinique Beach Walking down Martinique Beach with Bayers Islands looming in the near distance. The sand is hard-packed, smooth, and clean. The dark objects are kelp, soon to be swept back to sea. Here we see where Martinique Beach ends, and Bayers Islands begin. So few people make it down this far, we've seen no need for any signage.
Looking across the marshland to Middle Point. In the far left center of the photo, you can see where Martinique Beach ends exactly. As we make our way up towards Flying Point, the vegetation is so lush and fragrant. Here's a view looking over the ferns toward Middle Point. Crowberries (Empetrum nigrum) are abundant, growing in dense horizontal mats that are as soft as mattresses. Uses are many, from making jams and juice to cooking with meat or fish. All the land we see in this picture belongs to the Bayers Islands group.

Walking with local environmentalists through the marsh grasses. Part of the forest of Middle Point is across the marsh Life of all types is abundant on Bayers Islands Large rocks make for interesting focal points around the islands
The green marsh grasses are relaxing to walk through. There's so much variety on Bayers Islands, it's hard to believe all these pictures are of the same place, but they are indeed! A forest on Middle Point with Old Man's Beard (once again, a canary species for air quality). The sun almost completely down, we can see the islands appearing like three whales on the horizon. This picture was taken from a promontory on Martinique Beach at low tide.
