WHAT TO DO?
There are so many options! Here are just a few Salt Spring Island activities…
» Get out on the water
Canada’s Gulf Islands are a popular destination for ocean kayaking, boating/sailing, world-class scuba diving, and fresh or salt water fishing.

Pack a lunch and stroll the beaches, hunting for crabs and critters along the way. Kids of all sizes love watching the clams spit up through the sand a few feet in the air!
