Captain Cove is a cove located within the traditional territory of the Gitxaala Nation, on Pitt Island, British Columbia, Canada. Currently named after Captain Holmes Newcombe of the Fisheries Department.
The cove is 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) long and between 0.125–0.375 nautical miles (0.232–0.695 km; 0.144–0.432 mi) wide, and contains several islets, approximately 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) east of Captain Point. The cove is underlain by the large 100 by 25 kilometres (62 by 16 mi) Captain Cove Pluton dating to the Albian (109±6Ma).
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.
