your visit to Denman Island
Denman Island is characterized by its beautiful natural environment.
Inspired by the peaceful atmosphere, Denman residents produce an abundance of unique arts
& crafts and have helped the small Gulf Island earn an esteemed reputation around
the world. Denman Island is located in the northwest corner of the Georgia Strait,
approximately 2 1/2 hours north of Victoria, 1 hour north of Nanaimo, and 20 minutes south of Courtenay. The Island is connected
to Vancouver Island by a ferry service that
has been operating for over 70 years. The 2 km ferry ride provides wonderful views of Denman, as well as Vancouver Island's
Beaufort Mountain range. The ferry and its friendly crew make it easy for residents and visitors to access goods and services. 19 km long and 5 km wide, Denman is marked by a rolling ridge on the eastern side that rises 60
to 100 metres toward the western side of the island. There are sandy beaches, rocky coves, hiking trails, lush forests, and
picture-perfect farmlands to enjoy. The beauty of Denman's natural environment appeals to artists and outdoor enthusiasts.
One can closely observe deer, pheasants, herons, hawks and even the majestic bald eagle!
