GULF ISLANDS, SUNSHINE COAST

ocal waters virtual
paradise for boaters

BRITISH COLUMBIA’S Gulf Islands are 4 virtual
paradise for pleasure boaters.

One of the most popular cruising areas in the pro-
vince, the Gulf Islands are within easy sailing distance
from the Lower Mainland and offer boaters a scenic
journey through some of the most beautiful water-
ways in the world.

Cabbage Island, near Saturna Island, is a sheltered
marine park with a safe anchorage for boaters who
want to spend some time enjoying the surroundings.

At low tide, a land bridge from Cabbage Island to
the nearby privately owned Tumbo Island makes a
picture-perfect scene, especially during summer
sunsets. ;

Just a short sail away from Vancouver's harbor is
the Sunshine Coast, another popular spot that on
weekends is often filled with sailing and power boats.

In the Sunshine Coast’s so-called cottage country,
sailors can catch quick glimpses of homemade cabins
and summer homes that line the coastal waterfront.

A popular sailing destination that draws boaters
from up and down the coast, Desolation Sound's
marine park is far-ranging, with natural, pristine ap-
peal.

Boaters will experience the thrill of climbing out on
deck just as the sun starts to peak slowly over the top
of the area's breathtaking mountain peaks.

On a tiny desert island nearby, cacti grow by the
edge of the tide’s reach.

Nowhere in the world is the sailing quite like it is in
British Columbia.

Nowhere else can boaters find bustling ports, quiet
marine parks, tiny rustic islands and isolated un-
discovered fjords — all within easy sailing distance.
