Gulf Islands

Gulf Islands national park reserve is located in the Strait of Georgia - a collection of islands just east of southern Vancouver Island which experience Mediterranean type weather - warm and dry in the summer and mild and wet in the winter.

The park was formed in 2003 to protect the area’s unique ecosystem, which is rich with ecologically diverse plants and sea-life. It covers more than 15 islands and provides representation of the Strait of Georgia Lowlands natural region.

The Prior Centennial campground is on North Pender island. From the campground you can follow the Heart Trail which leads to the Magic Lake Estates:

Magic Lake Estates was developed in the 1960s by carving up 600 acres into 1200 1/2 acre plots in a subdivision on the west side of North Pender island.

Here are some of the cottages:

Very nice place. If you can stand the weather.
