Gabriola Island is often called the Isle of the Arts, known for its creative community, forested trails, and sweeping ocean views. Living on Vancouver Island for more than 30 years, I have watched Gabriola thrive as a place where art, music, and coastal living blend naturally. Its galleries, farmers’ markets, and beaches give it a welcoming, vibrant character. People are drawn to the island’s balance of cultural energy and natural beauty.
