Gabriola

This small Gulf Island in British Columbia's Georgia Strait — between Vancouver Island and the mainland — is sometimes called Petroglyph Island, a name that points to one of its more distinctive features. Surrounded by water and within sight of mountains, Gabriola offers the quiet, ferry-accessed pace typical of the Gulf Islands.
