General Store

General Store

The Refuge Cove General Store is the only grocery store in a deep-water harbour in Desolation Sound.  During the summer, the store is well stocked with block and cube (best on the coast) ice, groceries, marine hardware, souvenirs, local books, fuel, tackle, and ice cream novelties and cones!
