The Gulf Islands are a magical archipelago of over 200 islands, islets and coastal reefs in the Strait of Georgia, that contain a thriving marine ecology and biodiversity alongside the many buzzing, cozy and creative communities of each island. As described by HelloBC, “The forested Gulf Islands include Mayne, Galiano, Hornby, and Gabriola. The largest is Salt Spring, famed for its locavore-minded farmers, artisan producers, and organic vineyards.”
