This small private island is one of British Columbia's famed Gulf Islands. Lying between the mainland city of Vancouver and the provincial capital of Victoria, situated on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands are known for their warm climate, natural beauty and the many artists and craftsmen who make their home there.

The Gulf Islands are a sportsman's and sailing paradise. Clamshell Island lies in the protected waters of Long Harbour, Saltspring Island, directly opposite Saltspring's ferry terminal, with connections to Vancouver, Victoria and the other Gulf Islands.
