Gabriola Island is one of the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada, a 20-minute ferry ride from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, known for its sandstone shoreline, petroglyphs and artists' studios. Walk the honeycombed sandstone of the Malaspina Galleries, see the beaches of Drumbeg and Sandwell provincial parks, look for seals and eagles along the shore, and ferry back to Nanaimo or on to Galiano Island and the other Gulf Islands.
