Visiting Salt Spring? >
scootin’ around

This itinerary was submitted by Candice Cole, Front Manager at Rock Salt Restaurant & Cafe who commutes to work in the south end of Salt Spring on her fancy little red scooter.

My itinerary begins right in Fulford Harbour.   Although some might disagree, you don’t have to go all the way into Ganges to enjoy a day on Salt Spring especially if you’re pressed for time! You won’t even need to fuel up.  I recommend a small map for ease, but South Enders are super friendly!

Stop #1- Rock Salt Restaurant and Cafe
Pop into this super friendly joint for a latte & one of their homemade sweet and sticky cinnamon buns or chocolate chip cookies! Get their early, as they go quickly.  It’s a great way to start your day.

Stop #2- Morningside Organic Bakery – 107 Morningside Road
Delicious breads made with organic goodness! Maybe even find a new book to dive into?

Stop #3- The Wardrobe, Jambalaya Hat and Bead Shop, Knotty Threads & Stuff and Nonsense
These south end shops are must sees!  Make sure you have something to carry home all your new found treasures.

Stop #4- Farm Stands!!
No shortage of these on the South End! Make sure you have some small change on hand!

Stop #5- Rachel Vadeboncoeur Art Glass- 401 Beaver Point Road
Beautiful art created with recycled glass!

Stop #6- Salt Spring Island Cheese- 285 Reynolds Road
This is where your bread will come in handy! Hidden a little ways up Reynolds Rd Salt Spring Island Cheese is well known around these parts! Recently featured on Top Chef, this stop is well worth the trip to SSI alone!

Stop #7- Tony’s Tarts- 284 Forest Ridge Road
You’re not going to want to share these delicious treats! They are THAT good

Stop #8- Ruckle Park
Stop and enjoy the view! Now’s the perfect time to enjoy the delicious treats you’ve picked up along the way.

Stop #9- Solace Organic Spa- 111 Saltair Lane
Who doesn’t love spas?? Aromatherapy, teas, skincare & spa. Come and relax!

Stop #10- Moonstruck Organic Cheese- 1306 Beddis Road
More cheese, yes!!! You will want to take some home too, right??

Stop #11- The Farmhouse Gallery- 1298 Beddis Road
Metal and glass creations, of the insect variety.

Stop #12- Beddis Beach
Another place to stop and relax, maybe read a book or go for a quick dip! Now a quick pop over to the West side of the Island via Cusheon Lake Road!

Stop #13- Burgoyne Bay- Best seen at sunset, maybe this could be your last stop before going home??

Stop #14- Salt Spring Island Vineyards- 151 Lee Road
Gotta have something to go with all that cheese! Just remember to save it till you get home! It’s well worth it

Stop #15- Monster Lab- 2210 Fulford Ganges Road
The kid in all of us will love this unique shop! Truly one of a kind!

Well, that’s probably enough for one day!  Off to the ferry?
