Gulf Islands at a Glance
The Gulf Islands and the Discovery Islands lie in the Georgia Strait, between
Vancouver Island and Vancouver's mainland. Encompassing hundreds of little islands,
some more populated than others, each as intriguing and magnificent as the next.
Idyllic landscapes, wildlife viewing, boating, rocky beaches and astonishing
ocean views await visitors on all of the islands, but its their individual character,
history and culture that give them their nuances. Salt Spring Island is laden
with artists and therefore decorates its street corners with art studios and
craft vendors. Rolling Orchards are indicative of the Mayne Island experience,
while three provincial parks are a big attraction of Galiano Island. Further
north, Quadra Island is the most populated of the Discovery Islands and is deep-rooted
in native history. For a quieter experience, visit Gabriola Island, a peaceful community of artists, writers, crafts people and retirees.
