Gem of the Salish Sea
By Linda Tancs
Adjacent to British Columbia and Washington State, the Salish Sea is an inland sea named after the Coast Salish people, the first inhabitants of the region. Touted as a gem of the Salish Sea, Galiano Island is closest to Vancouver, which makes it easily accessible via ferry. Bluffs Point Lookout is a popular attraction, along with Bodega Ridge Trail, which rewards hikers with spectacular vistas of Trincomali Channel, Vancouver Island and the Strait of Georgia. Steps from the ferry dock, Sturdies Bay is home to most of the amenities on this island, including a resort hotel, art galleries and dining options.
