Galiano Island

spacer

Galiano (population: 1,258), the driest of the Southern Gulf Islands, lies just east of busy Salt Spring Island and southwest of the BC Mainland. It has a reputation for friendliness and hospitality. The island has a significant population of artists and artisans who are inspired by the island’s natural beauty. The island’s dramatic coastline features sheer cliffs; sand, pebble and white-shell beaches; sheltered bays and unusual sandstone formations. Douglas fir, arbutus and rare, native Garry oak thrive in the dense, inland forests.

Galiano is a 50-minute ferry ride from Tsawwassen on the BC mainland.
