Gabriola Island, neighbouring Nanaimo
5 km (3 mi) to the east, is similar to many of the Gulf
Islands in that it embraces a strong creative community. Nature has proven
to be one of the island’s best contributing artists, having created the Malaspina
Gallery masterpiece. This 70-m (229-ft) long, 4-m (13-ft) high sandstone sea
cave has been carved out by frost and surf. Dating back to the Ice Age, the
Malaspina Gallery is a work in progress as the erosion continues. Other aged
artworks include the petroglyphs left by First Nations people. Over 50 of these
rock carvings can be found on the island, the most famous being a depiction
of a killer whale near Degnen Bay. Those not artistically inclined can exercise
their talents in a number of Gabriola Island activities. Diving around marine
life such as Pacific octopi and eels, golfing at the Gabriola
Island Golf & Country Club or digging fresh clams to feast on can be participated
in by both the skilled and the novice.
