Cabbage Island
Tiny 4.5 hectare Cabbage
Island, known for its sandy shoreline and lovely views, is cradled by
the eastside of Tumbo Island. Tumbo Island is perched on the northeast
shore of Saturna Island and is another lovely spot to explore.

There are no hiking trails on Cabbage, but you’re free to wander and
sunbathe on the sandy beach. You can also enjoy a picnic at the tables
or go fishing and scuba diving.

Cabbage Island’s
marshes and stands of Garry oak, arbutus and coastal Douglas fir
offer some of the most intact wetland and vegetation remaining on
Gulf Islands. Bring your binoculars—the island is also an
important nesting site for Black Oystercatchers and Bald Eagles!
Amenities:
- an information shelter,
- pit toilets,
- wilderness campsites.
- There is no water available and
fires are not permitted. Fees are charged for the use of the
campsites and mooring buoys from May 1 to September 30.
