Denman Island: Pentlach Traditional Territory

February 8, 2021

Denman Island offers a vibrant arts scene, lively events, a beautiful environment, and lots of opportunities for active or restful recreation. Discover more than 50 talented local artists at the Denman Craft Shop or at individual artist studios, or enjoy a restorative healing treatment, class, or retreat. Explore spectacular trails amid four provincial parks, including Fillongley Provincial Park, which has 10 oceanside campgrounds, and Boyle Point, featuring some of the island’s oldest and biggest trees.

Accommodation options on Denman Island include bed & breakfasts in a variety of beautiful island locales, a centrally located hostel, and an oceanside provincial campground. From home baking to homemade ice cream to home-grown produce and meat, Denman Island offers a variety of locally produced food.

Denman’s year-round population of approximately 1,100 is an eclectic mix of artists, farmers, retirees, and progressive-minded people seeking a rural and often low-environmental impact lifestyle. The island welcomes visitors to vibrant festivals and concerts – from art, pottery, and garden tours, to the intimate Readers & Writers Festival in July and the Denman Baroque Workshop & Festival in May.
