Wake up to the sounds of the neighbour’s rooster crowing, a woodpecker pecking a tree, or a Sea Lion bellowing. The sounds of Gabriola are many and varied. You may hear a bleating goat on your walk to the beach or the buzz of a Hummingbird while it enjoys a treat in the feeder. The house is located one block from the beach with many access points to both colourful rocky and sand beaches. The tide pools and the beaches reveal sea life at low tide with many starfish and sea urchins ready for the looking. Wildlife abounds around the house. You will find deer grazing in the backyard, Bald Eagles hunting, or seals frolicking in the waters around the island. Kids will love the frogs and other forest creatures. There are many activities on the island that can be enjoyed by both young and old. There are many opportunities for sports such as kayaking, fishing sailing, hiking, tennis, & golf. The island is known as the Artists' island so the arts are easily found.
