Situated in the Strait of Georgia, between Campbell
River on Vancouver Island
and the northern tip of the Sunshine
Coast on mainland B.C.,
the Discovery Islands offer access to what can only be described as some of the
most stunning scenery in the world. Known for majestic coastlines and tranquil
waters rich in marine life, this region provides a number of recreational opportunities,
with ocean kayaking and whale watching being the most popular activities. The
Discovery Islands are also rich in Aboriginal history and tradition, which can
be explored on an interpretive tour or on an art gallery. Quadra
Island is the largest municipality in the region, with nearby Cortes
Island coming in second. Other Islands that are part of the Discovery region
include Read Island,
Maurelle Island,
Sonora Island and
the Thurlow Islands.
The peaceful, unspoiled shores of these outer islands are a little off the beaten
path, but well worth the voyage. The Discovery Islands are accessed via ferry
from Campbell River.
