About
Welcome to Denman Island. This well kept secret is preserved in a gentler time. Our peaceful community exists within natural abundance. Our population is around 1100 residents.
Tribune Bay and Hornby Island are a lovely easy day trip. Our place is 10 minutes by car to the Hornby Island ferry terminal, or 25 minutes by bike along a gorgeous seaside road. You can bypass the ferry delays if you travel by bicycle. But, if you want relief from the Hornby summer crowds, Denman Island is a perfect addition.
There is room here to breathe, explore and create.
PLAY
There are plentiful trails to explore through old growth forests, along streams and lakes, seaside bluffs and beaches. Denman has protected 1/4 of the total land mass under various park and conservation designations, more than any other gulf island! Check out our detailed trail maps and info about endangered flora and fauna that still have a presence here
