Since 2017, Mayne Island visitors have had access to this special wedge of Southern Gulf Islands real estate. The energizing hike includes two beaches, spectacular panoramas from shoreline bluffs, the finest stand of Arbutus in the Southern Gulf Islands, inviting intertidal zones, an assortment of wildflowers along the trail’s edge, and marine life swimming below and birdlife soaring overhead. It’s a dynamic yet tranquil SGI environment worthy of exploration.

“The Pacific Northwest coast is one of the world’s richest, most diverse habitats for intertidal marine life.”
