Montague Harbour Marine Park

Montague Harbour Marine Park on peaceful Galiano Island is rich in natural and cultural history. White shell beaches, open meadows, tidal lagoons, towering forests, craggy headlands and abundant bird life are just a few of the things that attract visitors to this park in the southern Gulf Islands. The park starts five meters below sea level and climbs 180 meters to a steep rocky precipice. Visitors can moor their boats to one of the 40 buoys in sheltered Montague Harbour or come by ferry and camp in one of the scenic vehicle-accessible or walk-in campsites. The park is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or afternoon of exploration. Located within the park is Gray Peninsula, which was inhabited by First Nations peoples before the arrival of Spanish explorer Dionisio Galiano in 1792. Skirting the northwest edge of the peninsula is a spectacular rock ledge that was carved into rippling patterns by the movement of glaciers thousands of years ago.

Note: Please note that campsites at Montague Harbour Marine Park were re-numbered in Spring 2018 due to campground expansion and improvements.
