Captain Cove is a cove located on Pitt Island, British Columbia, Canada. It was named after Captain Holmes Newcombe of the Fisheries Department.
The cove is long and between wide, and contains several islets, approximately east of Captain Point.[2] The cove is underlain by the large Captain Cove Pluton dating to the Albian (109±6Ma).[3]
The cove preserves a record of intense prehistoric use, with a few large shell middens and several small shell middens associated with creeks flowing into the cove.
