Mikkelsen Harbour’s many highlights

Located amid the incredible scenery of Trinity Island, Mikkelsen Harbour is a small bay where D’Hainaut Island can also be found. Here you’ll find a ruggedly beautiful bay strewn with partially submerged rocks and whale bones littering the beach, a reminder of times past.
