Expeditor Cove is a coastal feature on the Arctic Ocean in Nunavut, Canada. The cove is part of the Coronation Gulf region, with its entrance situated to the northeast. The water within the cove is noted for its clarity and cold temperature, even in summer. The bottom near the head of the cove consists of mud, providing good holding ground for vessels. The shoreline is characterized by rocky points and headlands, including Gurling Point, which features natural rock amphitheatres with tiered, dark rock formations that can serve as scenic rest stops or very snug, limited campsites. The aesthetic is one of stark Arctic beauty, though paddlers should be aware that some shoreline areas, particularly on points, have been impacted by litter such as plastic debris, cans, and bottles.
For paddlers, access to the cove is made from the northeast between Mackenzie Point and Gurling Point. There is motorboat traffic in the area, and paddlers should be prepared for interactions with local boaters. The area is exposed to the open waters of the Coronation Gulf, meaning wind and wave conditions can develop, and paddlers can experience both tailwinds and headwinds depending on direction. Wildlife sightings are common, with seals frequently observed in the cove, and seabirds like seagulls present. The water is extremely cold year-round, posing a significant immersion hazard. There are no facilities or amenities specifically for paddlers; camping is very limited, with only a few possible, small sites found on Gurling Point. The best season for paddling is summer, when daylight is extended and bugs can be minimal.
