About Gabriola Island

Just 50 square kms, Gabriola is now home to about 4,500 people - a population doubling in summer as visitors flock to the beaches, golf course, art galleries and hiking trails. Gabriola now has one of the largest per-capita concentrations of visual and performing artists in Canada. The community has achieved a rare balance of environmental preservation with close proximity to the dense urban setting of Nanaimo. The regular BC Ferries service means Gabriolans enjoy easy access to the services, schools and work opportunities over the water, and can live in a semi-rural atmosphere of small farms and market gardens interspersed with native trees, wildflowers, birds and beaches.
