Galiano Island Real Estate

Welcome to Galiano!

The gem of the Gulf Islands, Galiano is a rural escape from the busy city. Just a 45-minute ferry ride from Tsawwassen surrounds you in the province's most beautiful scenery and unparalleled tranquility.

A short ferry trip from Tsawwassen (the mainland) or Swartz Bay (Vancouver Island) will bring you to Sturdies Bay in the south end of Galiano island. The bulk of the island's permanent residents live in the south end of the island, where there are craft stores, a bakery, a video store, a laundromat, several art galleries, a couple restaurants and other small shops lining the main road.

Montague Harbour Provincial Marine Park is also in the south end as well as several public access beaches and hiking trails. A 19-mile stretch up island brings you to the quietness of the north end, where massive forests open to more picturesque, postcard-worthy beaches. Another beautiful provincial campsite, Dionisio Park, is at the northern tip of the island with views of both the mainland across the Strait of Georgia and of other Gulf Islands across Porlier Pass.

There are a little over a thousand permanent residents on the island who give Galiano its friendly, small-town charm. Forests and beaches offer a diverse variety of plants and animals, as well as plenty of walking and hiking trails. The beauty of the island is best appreciated in person so come for a visit to see for yourself!

Photos from the Island

My parents first brought me to Galiano in 1960 and we moved here permanently in 1964. My dad was an electrician and found lots of work. I went to school here. Eventually I moved to Vancouver where I married and raised my four children. We became weekenders and summer residents taking full advantage of the ease in commuting back and forth. I moved back to our island in 2002 and became a successful realtor. I know Galiano well and am here to help you!
