Mayne Island is one of the smallest Gulf Islands and people living there enjoy a very relaxed pace to life.



Georgina Point lighthouse is a very familiar structure to all ferry passangers.





Ferry traffic through Active Pass is a very frequent sight.













Mayne Island inhabitants.





Mayne Island Resort is one of the few accommodations on the island and it is really nice place to stay.







High tides make all piers on the island really long.







There are some short hiking trails to be found on the island.







Only 1,200 people live year-round on Mayne Island, so the main street of Miners Bay is never very busy.







There are two grocery stores, one gas station and only few restaurants on the entire island.















Galiano Island across Active Pass.







Springwater Lodge is the oldest continuously operating accommodation in the entire British Columbia, having operated since 1895.







Low tide is noticeable.







There is a very nice Japanese garden near Village Bay ferry terminal. While it wasn't blooming yet, it provided for a nice and quiet place to pause for a moment.





















Nothing much happens on Mayne Island and the locals do embrace it.



Mayne Island is not really a tourist destination, as there is nothing much to see or do on it. But if you are looking for slow-pace relaxation, it might be one of the best places not too far from Vancouver.
