WELCOME TO SAH YEH YEEN (TEXADA ISLAND)
At over 300 square kilometres, Texada Island, on the Sunshine Coast of BC, is the largest of the Gulf Islands. Affectionately known as “The Rock,” Texada Island has a wonderful, colourful history that includes stories of Wild West gold fever days along with natural outdoor attractions not found anywhere else.
An abundance of trails and old logging roads cover the island and lack of predators makes outdoor adventuring here even more attractive.
