Was here last weekend passing through. Beautiful, quite, sandy beach with great walking around the unique rock formations along the little peninsula that seperates it from the larger "Tribune Beach" to the east. Hornby Island is a perfect place to get off the rat track and take a time out. One of my favourite islands in the Georgia Strait (b/w Vancouver Island and the Mainland).
