Visiting the Gulf Islands How do you decide which ones to see first?

The islands share West Coast natural beauty and weather, and a culture forged from generations of independentthinking residents, yet each has its own character, history and amenities, which are readily discerned through a visit or two.

They range substantially in size, population and services, but all of them offer safe, rural environments and a sense of getting away from it all — not that they don’t hum with activity on weekends during the height of visitor season.

Read about each island on our website gulfislandstourism.com - and find what piques your interest. You can plan a trip around one of the many special events.

The Gulf Islands have long been described as a place to relax, rejuvenate and recharge from the hectic pace of today’s busy life. And the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve offers a host of incredible experiences for you to accomplish those goals. Surrounded by growing urban centres, the islands are an oasis of sorts, offering an opportunity to connect with the landscape and revel in the life that thrives within it.

Whatever you seek and whatever you discover, we know that once you’ve seen the Gulf Islands for yourself, you’ll stop wondering why they’re such a celebrated part of the world.

Salt Spring SATURDAY MARKET

Every Saturday through summer and until Oct. 28, 2017.

Salt Spring’s Saturday Market cannot fail to impress with its sheer volume of available goods. When visitors learn that every item there has to pass the “make it, bake it or grow it” criteria by Salt Springers on Salt Spring, the selection is even more astounding.

After you’ve exhausted your friends and family members at the market a drive to the Mount Maxwell lookout may be in order.

The amazing views and easy accessibility make it the perfect place to restore equilibrium — and to gobble up some of those fine market munchies.
