The Gulf Islands are renowned for their Mediterranean climate and for their laid-back lifestyle. Most of the Gulf Islands have trails and beaches to explore and many of the larger ones have kayak outfitters, public tennis courts and swimming pools, horseback riding, golf courses, disc golf and fishing charters. Cycling the Gulf Islands is very popular and is a great way to see the islands.
While some of the
Northern Gulf Islands number wolves, bears, and cougars among their wildlife, the
Southern Gulf Islands boast nothing much more dangerous than wasps.
Seals, Orcas, sea lions, otters, and mink are frequently seen in the waters around all the Gulf Islands and, of course, there are the ubiquitous deer - and the fences around the gardens. Birders, too, will find numerous species among them eagles, herons, turkey vultures and oyster catchers.
