The BEST
PADDLING
GALIANO ISLAND
The shell beach and often calm, aquamarine ocean water make the west side of Gray Peninsula in Montague Harbour Marine Park a perfect place to put in for a paddle (012726).

GALIANO ISLAND’S BEST
SGI OUTSIDE will add paddling routes originating from Galiano Island, such as Around Montague Harbour, to neighbouring Parker, Charles, and Wise islands, the Ballingall Islets Ecological Reserve, and further afield to Prevost Island, once RP revisits these spots in 2026. In the meantime, read about Galiano launching/landing options and destinations in the Galiano Island/AND IF YOU PADDLE section of knowledgeable paddler/hiker Charles Kahn’s book Hiking the Gulf Islands of British Columbia: 4th Edition.
