Recently heralded by the New York Times as “the prettiest artist town in North America,” Salt Spring Island is a haven for artists, nature lovers, or anyone just wishing to melt away their everyday cares. Undulating with rolling hills, the island is perfect for sightseeing on two wheels. Meet local artists and growers at the Farmer’s Market in Ganges, art gallery hop, or spy Harbour Seals and Orcas in the ocean beyond. You’ll feel the world away from your cares, yet connected to civilization via the island’s three ferries or by float plane. From its artistic character to its mountain peaks to its breezy, fresh ocean air, Salt Spring Island has it all.
