Saturna Island , the most easterly of the Southern Gulf Islands, is located in the scenic waters between Vancouver and Victoria. Known for its rugged coastline, breathtaking ocean views, and peaceful rural lifestyle, Saturna Island offers a true West Coast island experience surrounded by natural beauty and abundant wildlife.

Rich in history, Saturna Island was originally home to Coast Salish First Nations peoples who travelled and lived throughout the Gulf Islands for thousands of years. The island later became known through early European exploration and settlement, with farming, fishing, and logging shaping much of its early community. Saturna was named after the Spanish naval schooner Santa Saturnina, which explored the coast in the late 1700s.

Today, much of the island is protected within the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, preserving its forests, shoreline, and scenic hiking trails for future generations. The island is home to a small but vibrant community, local farms, vineyards, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts who value its quiet pace and connection to nature. Whether as a full-time residence, vacation property, or retreat from city life, Saturna Island is a place where people come to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of the Southern Gulf Islands.
