Pesuta Shipwreck — Attraction in Area D (Graham Island)

Did the hike to the shipwreck on a hot, clear and sunny day. Folks recommend departing for the shipwreck 2 hours after high tide to maximize your time availability to do the trek and hang out there. The first 2 kms through the forest are beautiful and peaceful, and I'd say easy-moderate. The remaining trail comes out onto a gravel road that runs next to a channel, and that section was brutally hot, lame, flat, and with several biting horseflies. You can spot the shipwreck when you're 1-2km away, along with some nesting eagles in the forest to your left, and the last half km turns into a nice sandy beach where you'll come upon the remains of the Pesuta. The beach is beautiful and sandy, the water was surprisingly warm (depending on the tide), and full of clear and large red jellyfish. The wreck and beach made the last part of the hike worth it. 10km round trip from the day-use parking loop, roughly 3...

The trail starts with a 2.5 km walk through the rainforest with a narrow trail full of roots. There are some short ups and downs on this portion. The second ~4km is along the river on rock and looser sand.

The shipwreck is amazing and you can start to see it from about 2 km away but it looks so close. (Like walking in Vegas and trying to guage distance 😁)

When you get up to it, you will be amazed that it is still in tact from the 1920's. Lots of driftwood to relax at before heading back. Took us just over3...

Wreck is cool. The hike took us 3 hours, 1.5 there and 1.5 return. It's 5km each way. An hour walk through the forest (2.5km) and a 30 min walk beside the river (2.5km) leading to the wreck. The walk beside the river is really boring but the hike overall is very easy. Make sure you check the tide tables before going as the water covers the wreck and you won't be able to get close if it's high tide. Very muddy in spots and you have to cross small pools of water in 2 spots so bring hiking...
