Review:
Located in the calm waters of the Georgia Strait in Salish Sea between Vancouver Island and the mainland, Hornby Island is rural, simple, relaxed and incredibly beautiful.
During the last 30 years, its population grew to about 1,000 people who like it the way it is. The population consists of many artists, small business owners, and people work remotely.
The island’s lush forests, sandy beaches, calm waters and miles of hiking trails bring thousands of tourists every summer, and they often go kayaking, biking or boating. Many come by boat, anchoring at Tribune Bay or docking at the Ford Cove Marina.
The biggest Hornby Island attractions are Heron Rocks, Whaling Station Bay, Tribune Bay Provincial Park, Ford Cove, and Helliwell Provincial Park.
