Berners Bay offers opportunities for saltwater fishing and crabbing, sea kayaking and wildlife watching. Kayakers and boaters should check tide charts prior to any excursion, since parts of the bay may be too shallow during low tide.
Berry pickers can harvest the abundant blueberries that grow around the cabin in the summer. Mountain goat and bear hunting is possible in designated seasons with the proper permit.
