After our kayaking expedition finished unexpectedly early on the Saturday we spent on Gabriola Island, the ten of us squeezed into John and Helene's 7-seater SUV and drove to Drumbeg Provincial Park on the south end of the island. This was a very pretty, deserted, rocky beach with purple starfish galore (and a few pink ones). I thought it was funny that Drumbeg Park was named after "the Scottish home of the land's former owner, Neil Stalker" - yep, definitely a wise marketing decision to NOT name it Stalker Park!!!

After a coffee break, we squeezed our group of 10 back into the available 7 seats and headed to another beach to watch the sun set. The view out to a little rocky island with a lighthouse and red and white buildings was simply adorable, but the wind was pretty nippy by that time so we were happy to head back to the B&B and whip up a feast for supper (Canadian meaning - i.e. tea/dinner) - lasagna, salads, and garlic bread!
And that was our introduction to Gabriola Island!
