Salt Spring We celebrate the abundance of the Island at our tables... seafood, lamb, blackberries, plums, apples, cheeses, fresh vegetables and herbs. Locally grown organic foods are available at the market on Tuesdays and Saturdays or from farm stands all week long.

Gardeners tend their plots in hope of trophy quality produce and year-round laden tables. As late summer lingers - jams, jellies, wines and preserves begin to fill kitchen cupboards in preparation for Fall Fair competitions and winter feasts.

A network of trails opens the woods to nature lovers and the more challenging climbs reward hikers with spectacular vistas. Elf houses and nature art hidden along many trails delight visitors with Island whimsy.

Being on the water sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming is being an islander. Saltspring boasts a dragon boat team and year round ocean swimmers.

As the sun sets music rises and invites us to join neighbours and friends at intimate concerts, food and drink venues or festivals. Inside or outside the night welcomes the

Galiano Island is a long narrow formation that boasts

more beachfront than most Islands its size. Known for its literary festival, the Gulf Islands Film and TV School, and many resident artists, Galiano supports and nourishes a rich culture.

Boasting two provincial parks plus ecological reserves and hiking trails the Island offers many outlets for beach and nature loving residents to seek inspiration.

48.9167째 N 123.4167째 W

Mayne Island promises a retreat from

the noise and rush of the city. Find tranquility at local cottages or bed and breakfasts and enjoy produce from local farms at the Saturday market. Nature surrounds you at every step. This close knit community relies on volunteerism and welcomes newcomers.

48.8450° N 123.2808° W

Pender Island is an oasis for those who want

Island life but don’t want to give up the benefits of civilization. Fabulous nature escapes on land or water are steps away but facilities are available for activities and services town dwellers rely upon and enjoy.

Get the best of both worlds.
