Captain Cove (Kla’tin) is a cove located on Pitt Island, British Columbia, Canada.[2] It was named after Captain Holmes Newcombe of the Fisheries Department.[3]

The cove is 1 nmi (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) long and between 0.125–0.375 nmi (0.232–0.695 km; 0.144–0.432 mi) wide, and contains several islets, approximately 0.5 nmi (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) east of Captain Point.[4] The cove is underlain by the large 100 by 25 km (62 by 16 mi) Captain Cove Pluton dating to the Albian (109±6Ma).[5]

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.[6]
