Surrounding Islands of Vancouver Island include a collection of unique places such as Gabriola, Denman, Hornby, and Quadra, each with its own rhythms of coastal life. For over 30 years I have followed the rhythms of Island living, and these smaller islands stand out for their mix of creativity, community, and unspoiled natural settings. From arts festivals and local farms to sheltered beaches and rugged shorelines, the surrounding islands are loved for their strong sense of identity and deep connection to the land and sea.
