Great views of the Bay

Parking was barely adequate, although a couple of spaces were taken up by people apparently living out of their vehicles. Monument to Captain Cook requires a pair of field glasses to get a good look.

The landing site is just an area of coast, which can be seen from the Russian Fort, and no real reason to visit. The memorial to Captain Cook is located in the town, adjacent to the main road. A statue with a commemorative plaque recording...More

Captain Cook Landing Site

You have to use your GPS to find this place we couldn't find any signs or markers but this is where he landed. Apparently he wasn't well liked by the people, maybe they don't want any markers up! Interesting site to see.

Not much to see.

Don't follow the directions on Google maps, it will take you to the beach, where there is nothing. The statue is located on the main street. Overall a waste of time.
