There is nothing quite like the luxury of living in a place where nature takes the spotlight. This is why we know that residents from Alberta will love the island of Gabriola. That rustic feel of home while enjoying the hymn of nature will attract the spirit that is raring for adventure.  Take a break from the cold mountain scenery and venture closer to the water where the sun and sand accompany a relaxing sea breeze. There’s nothing quite like the laid back Island feel to make it as comfortable as home. With 45km of shoreline, those who love the water can enjoy diving, snorkelling, kayaking, or simply soaking up the sun whenever they wish.  Imagine a house atop a hill that overlooks the beaches and forests. Adventure lovers can spend their weekends on the trails, hike through to the highest spot on the island, or pitch a tent at Descanso Bay. It’s the perfect set up really, that is a hundred times better than having to deal with the busy streets, the noise of the traffic, and the overpopulated shopping malls in other cities.  Art lovers will enjoy the hippie-vibe that inspires the creative soul and brings color to the already lively streets of Gabriola Island. Truly the perfect destination for young professionals, Gabriola Island is a hub of vivacity that suits the young at heart.
