Retreat Cove
 

Located in British Columbia, Canada, Galiano Island is often referred to as the gem of the Southern Gulf Islands. It is a one hour ferry ride from Vancouver or Victoria, and yet it is relatively untouched by it’s urban neighbors. The stillness, slow pace and rustic beauty is palpable. Galiano offers a wide range of experiences from watching the gentle tide, hiking in the moss covered forests, kayaking in the coves and sailing in Trincomali Pass. On any given day one might glimpse sea otters, bald eagles and the occasional orcas. The town center is small with several restaurants, a bakery, a cafe, a natural food store and other simple amenities.
