Savary Island is 5 miles tip tip, at the northern end of Georgia Strait, it lies east west, is about 90 miles north west of Vancouver. Savary is the most subdivided island in The Gulf, in 1910 the majority of the Island was divided in to 50ft wide lots. In the early 70's Savary Shore added another 225 lots. Sunny, situated in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island and with low elevation, Savary gets more sunshine, the tides flushing in from the Pacific around Vancouver Island meet just norh of Savary. When these warmer waters, run over the shallow sandy shelf of Savary, they become some of the warmest in the region. Savary is mostly sand and silt, anchored by Mace Point, a large rock at the East End. The sand means there is little surface water. The temperate climate and lack of surface water, has limited the land mammals, there are deer, squirrels, mice , river otters and the occasional mink come ashore. This makes hiking etc. a little less stressful. ( no bears , cougars, rats, raccoons etc. AND FEW MOSQUITOS ). The are rare plant colonies and the northernmost Garry Oaks. Broom was introduced in the 1930's a mixed blessing, it has controlled erosion in some locations, and is beautiful in bloom, but it is invasive and inflammable. Birds are abundant, resident bald eagles, scavenging turkey vultures, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and of course shorebirds. There are lots of seals on the reefs, sometimes sea lions. There are resident porpoises in the area and random visits by whales. There is groundwater , a shallow 'perched' aquifer on a silt layer. Shallow dug wells mid island, sandpoint wells at Indian Point and Mlaspina Promenade. And the main aquifer, accessed by drilled wells. Water is good quality and drunk untreated. Savary Shores has a community well currently serving about 120 lots.
