Texada Island

Texada Island, BC's largest Gulf island at 50 km (30 mi.) long with only 1100 fulltime residents makes Texada a pristine and delightful choice for the adventurous traveller. 

Rich in history from ancient First Nations middens and discovery by the Spanish explorers to early 1800's mining of iron, copper and gold to the limestone quarrying of today heritage buffs can tour our two museums produced by the Texada Heritage Society in Blubber Bay or Van Anda, 9 km away on the east side. 

Getting here is easy with 10 ferries per day from Powell River's Westview ferry terminal to Blubber Bay in just 30 mins.  KD Air provides 4 scheduled flights per day from Vancouver South terminal or Qualicum Beach to the Gillies Bay Airport, which has a 3000 foot paved runway for that smooth landing.
