Saltspring Island is famous for its arts and cultural community along with the very beautiful setting on the BC coast between Vancouver and Victoria. There are great hikes on the island with maps to guide you, and opportunities to sail and fish with charter companies in Ganges Harbour. At our cottage you can venture out into the bay with our kayaks or canoe. The Art Spring Theatre in Ganges, the small town nearby the cottage offers a variety of great performances over the summer. Other locations also have great music and the many art galleries and artist studios are frequently open for your browsing pleasure.
