Reid Harbor indents the SE shore of Stuart Island and trends NW about 1.5 miles. The harbor, which is landlocked and 400 yards wide, affords good anchorage in 4 to 5 fathoms, soft bottom.

In 1996, a visible wreck was reported in the harbor entrance in about 48°40’12″N., 123°11’19″W.
Prevost Harbor, on the N shore of Stuart Island about 1.5 miles E of Turn Point, affords good shelter and anchorage.
