Picturesque Fulford
Harbour provides a warm, friendly welcome to Saltspring Island. The
relaxed little community of Fulford is a favourite hangout for the
locals and visitors alike, consisting of delightful old clapboard
buildings that house cafes, a few craft shops, and bike and kayak
rentals.
Island Hopping
Travelling between the Southern
Gulf Islands and Northern
Gulf Islands can be accomplished in small hops. Each of these
islands is a world unto itself, each with its own history, culture
and colourful characters - each island deserves at least a day or
two for exploring. |
