Gabriola Island Homes Property For Sale

With its fantastic beaches, parks, ocean views and incredible sunsets, Gabriola Island has much to offer. Gabriola is the northernmost island of the Southern Gulf Islands and is located approximately 5 km east of Nanaimo.

A 20-minute ferry ride gets you from the Nanaimo Harbour to Gabriola. Depending on the season, ferries run almost every half-hour, starting at 5:45 am until 11:00 pm.

You can also arrive by float plane or your own private boat.

Facts about Gabriola

  • Gabriola Island is 14.5 km (9 mi) in length and 4.5 km (2.8 mi) wide.
  • More than 200 artists and artisans reside and work on the Island, which is why Gabriola is also known as the Isle of the Arts.
  • The natural and artificial reefs around Gabriola Island boast some of the best marine life diving on British Columbia’s coast.
  • The earliest archaeological record on Gabriola is a cave burial dated back to around 1500 BC.
  • There are several locations on the Island where you can view petroglyphs. Although commonly believed to be thousands of years old, due to being carved in the soft sandstone, they are almost impossible to date, and as well, eroding rapidly.
  • Gabriola has more public beach access points than any other Gulf Island.
