Introducing Denman & Hornby Islands
Regarded as the main Northern Gulf Islands, Denman (www.denmanisland.com) and Hornby (www.hornbyisland.com) fuse laid-back attitudes, a similar artistic flair and a wealth of outdoor activities.

Denman has three provincial parks: Fillongley (250-474-1336; www.bcparks.ca), with easy hiking and beachcombing; Boyle Point (www.bcparks.ca), with a beautiful walk to the lighthouse; and Sandy Island (250-474-1336; www.bcparks.ca), only accessible by water from north Denman.
Among Hornby’s provincial parks, Tribune Bay features a long sandy beach with safe swimming, while Helliwell offers notable hiking. Ford’s Cove, on Hornby’s south coast offers the chance for divers to swim with six-gill sharks.
