About
Ramillies Channel is located on the eastern shore of Gambier Island, making it the most centrally located site in the Sea to Sky Marine Trail network.
The three beaches are almost entirely pebbled for the complete length of the intertidal zone, making for a safe and easy landing regardless of the tides. The middle of the three beaches has a mossy bench above the high tide zone, with a composting toilet and tenting areas. Note that since it is East facing, it usually sees shade for later part of the afternoon onward.
