Beaver Cove is a cove on Northern Vancouver Island, immediately to the south of the junction of Johnstone and Broughton Straits. [1] The community of the same name is located at the head of the cove, as was a now-former logging community, Englewood. [2] [3] The mouth of the Kokish River is at the head of the cove, southeast of the site of Englewood. [4] Also on the cove, on its southeast shore northeast of the community of Beaver Cove, is the community of Kokish. [5]
Name origin
Like Beaver Harbour near Port Hardy, Beaver Cove was named for the Beaver, a Hudson's Bay Company vessel that was the first steamship on the northwest coast of North America. [6]
