Beaver Cove is a small coastal community on Northern Vancouver Island, located on the cove of the same name. It is located at the mouth of the Kokish River,[1] 180NaN0 southeast of Port McNeill and 30NaN0 up the inlet from Telegraph Cove.

Background

It is the northern terminus of the Englewood Railway, which is named via that of the Wood & English Logging Company, whose former logging camp, now abandoned, was Englewood, on the other side of Beaver Cove from today's community. Also nearby, to the northeast on the southeast shore of Beaver Cove, is the community of Kokish.[2]
