Salt Spring Island
Salt Spring Island (population: 9,780) is the largest of the southern Gulf Islands. The easy-going lifestyle, rich cultural scene and serene beauty of the place have made it one of Canada’s top tourism and retirement destinations. The island has all the classic attributes of West Coast topography – beaches, forests, mountains and meadows – and the island has one of the warmest year-round climates in Canada.
When it comes to arts and crafts, Salt Spring is the jewel in the Gulf Islands’ crown. Works by resident artists in every conceivable medium are displayed in scores of galleries and studios concentrated at the island’s north end. The local calendar is always crowded with exhibitions, concerts and eclectic market days.
