The recent acquisition of recreational land on Saturna gives this island more park land per size and population than any other Gulf Island. The parks and recreational areas have been preserved through the Provincial Government, joint Federal and Provincial initiative, and through regional and community parks. Here's a sampling of what awaits you:

Pacific Marine Heritage Legacy.
-
Recent purchases of Narvaez Bay (A whooping 645 hectares and the largest acquisition to date) as well as Taylor Point (50.6 hectares), protect a huge and beautiful area of Saturna Island. Narvaez Bay is a pristine headland with no facilities. Hiking is good here as is calm weather anchorage for boaters off the
shoreline. Taylor Point (Thompson Park) and Saturna Beach at Breezy Bay encompass fields, beaches and headlands as well as the previous site of Saturnašs famous annual Lamb Barbecue. A dock for shallow draft boats is available at Breezy Bay, as is a toilet that drew raves from a recent Pacific Yachting Magazine writer!

Winter Cove Marine Park. This is now the site of the annual Lamb Barbecue. A gem of a park located in a beautiful area of Saturna, this is a great day use area, with picnic tables, toilet, playgrounds, swimming, boat launching and short hikes to view the Strait of Georgia and the narrow Boat Passage, where sometimes all of the Strait of Georgia seems to be crowding through between Saturna and Samuel Islands.
