Majestic 28.25 acre oceanfront estate. A rare find. Drive down the 1/2 km of paved driveway, through your own mature forest, opening to a 4+ acre fabulously landscaped, totally private, oceanfront property. The main house overlooks Clam Bay. There is a 3 bedroom guest house, a double garage with additional workshop, large fully automated greenhouse, double carport, and even a separate pantry building for the main house. Clam Bay is an Ocean front retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life, yet only 25 minutes flying time from Vancouver. Located beside the ocean on Pender Island, one of BC’s southern Gulf Islands, Clam Bay is the perfect getaway. Clam Bay offers eight unique individually decorated homes or cottages and a dock: High Arctic Farm House with full Gourmet Kitchen, Heritage House, The Craft House and Vineyard Suites overlooking our 7 acre vineyard, the ocean front Boat House and Oar House, the ocean view Sod Roof Cottage, and the slightly funky Pump House. You can contact Clam Bay Island retreat here or inquire about this property here.

…is a community arts organization serving residents of Salt Spring Island and the Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada. Salt Spring is known around the globe for its arts tourism, and diverse and talented artists. 2 We are dedicated to fostering and promoting interest in sailing and cruising in the waters off the Gulf Islands, British Columbia, Canada, and to develop seamanship and a knowledge of navigation. Vendors must “make it, bake it, or grow it” themselves, and all products must be “vendor produced and sold”. These simple mandates are the essence of our market. Visitors are treated to local creations stemming from Salt Spring’s unique brand of “island ingenuity“. Highest caliber creativity and production standards make Salt Spring Island home to the greatest collection of artists in Canada. We are passionate about serving delicious, wholesome food prepared from scratch. Our cafe is located in the heritage cottage next to Mouat’s in the heart of Ganges village on beautiful Salt Spring Island. The building itself was built in the 1920s and has a long and diverse history which includes being the site of the first electrical generating station on the island and later as a home for one of the Mouat family’s favorite aunts, Margaret. It’s even been a smoke house, crystal shop and music school. Our Mission: to produce jazz concerts and workshops, meaning jazz in the broadest sense, including blues, Latin and world music, on Salt Spring Island. Our purpose is to provide a platform for local and visiting artists that will nurture the local musical community and promote these genres of music on our island, reaching audiences of all ages and backgrounds. I love the photos from Florida, and the Gulf Coast, and Southern California, and even off to Austrailia’s Gold Coast…endless sweeps of sandy beach, for what seem like miles! That’s not the kind of beach we get in the Southern Gulf Islands, though. Sometimes, it’s crushed shell and sand tiny coves, sometimes it’s a shingle beach, smooth pebbles, a somewhat larger cove, sometimes it’s sandstone, shelving from exposed smooth rock into deep water….you’d have to travel to Vancouver Island’s west side, to enjoy the long ribbons of wonderful sand, or to parts of the east side of Vancouver Island. The interesting thing about the Southern Gulf Islands is that they allow for great sailing waters, idling between the various islands, and even extending into the adjacent U.S. San Juans grouping. With the coves and the mix of beach and deep water foreshore, it allows for docks. Ah…the eternal dream of the mariner…to keep one’s boat at home! It seems that in the few Paciific Northwest Coast areas that mimic the Florida sweeps of beach, the trade off is beachcombing versus dock/moorage for a boater. It’s two kinds of waterfront seekers, always, it seems….those who like to “walk for miles” on a sandy beach and those who want to create a dock/moorage for their yacht, and would prefer that deep water aspect. And you are what kind of waterfront seeker???
