Saturna Island, British Columbia
Killer Whales at East Point


When you visit...

Tour the island’s 31 square kilometres and discover Saturna’s distinct ecosystems. Any season, hike the Parks Canada trails or bike the island’s terrain. Savour spectacular views of Mount Baker and the Strait of Georgia from parks and marked beach accesses.

Try the beaches for kayaking, fishing or dipping.

Visit the historic Fog Alarm Building at East Point, recognized as Canada’s premier land-based whale- watching site—and take a picnic or a kite with you.

On cliffsides, expect to encounter feral goats and bald eagles; on roadways watch for unpredictable wildlife.

Plan an escape for a weekend or a week. Once on Saturna, scan the bulletin boards for island goings- on. The Canada Day Saturna Lamb Barbecue at Winter Cove, is an annual highlight; the Free Store a must. Sample the wines at the picturesque Saturna Island Vineyard, then grab a bite to eat at its bistro. Or try the fare at the Saturna Café or Lighthouse Pub. Evenings, relax on the pub’s patio to take in one of the best sunsets in the Gulf Islands.

Throughout the summer, join the Parks Canada interpreter at various locations for participatory events, including unique sunset presentations at East Point. And if you’re looking for a picture-perfect setting for your special event, you’ll not find a more scenic spot.

Whether you come to Saturna to seek quiet refuge or play the days away, expect to be enchanted by this unusually untouched place—away from the world as most know it.

Some people call Saturna Island paradise. Three hundred folk call Saturna home. Thousands more visit each year toexperience one of the most naturally diverse islands in Canada’s borderland waters. Expect to be enchanted by this unusually untouched place.
