About Saturna Island, Sunset Beach Estate

Saturna Island

One of the most southerly Gulf Islands is located in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver and Victoria. The most rural of the islands, Saturna has close to 300 permanent residents. Many people choose to call Saturna home because of its mild climate, natural surroundings and its quiet friendly atmosphere. A home to many artists and artisans, Saturna has plenty to offer to both residents and visitors. In 2003 the Federal Government established the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve http://www.pc.gc.ca/gulfislands with almost 50 percent of Saturna is included in this reserve. Our resort lies within the heart of this unique park.

Where to find us
