There's Dionisio Point. I haven't tried it myself and I've heard a fair amount of swell comes in. It's right at Porlier. A very beautiful spot.

i had read i think in py magazine that they had just put in a new marina somewhere but i cant find any information there was also a new inn as well.

There's not much shelter along the strait until Gossip Island.

Dioniso Pt. is a magical place,but only suitable as a day stop.When waiting to go through Porlier pass westbound,anchor in about 20 ft.,the water is clear.There are two submerged rocks in the perimiter.Over by the Parks bouy is a slightly more protected spot.Outside Porlier can be dangerous when there is a strong NW wind combined with a strong flood tide,the waves roll right into bay.

Parks says Deep Bay he says White Rock. I get the sense you have to watch your weather pretty closely in winter over there.

I've been planning a trip there but unless we get another shot of good weather I'm thinking I'll wait for next summer now.

There is no new private marina on the island: Montague Harbour remains the only one.

There is, however, a new dock at the Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa (formerly called the "Galiano Lodge" which had a dock years ago). It is located in Sturdies Bay and also is walking distance to the Village. It is seasonal May 1 to Oct 1 generally, and is free to users of the Inn, or dockage rates same as Government rates.
