Mayne Island is a small, friendly, Canadian island positioned about half way between the lower mainland of British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Amenities on this island include an elementary school with a playground, a health care centre, ambulance service, fire hall, an open market, tennis courts, service station, post office, and a surprising variety of restaurants and accommodation.

Mayne Island main village is Miner's Bay and the island's centre, with many old houses, historical buildings and commercial outlets.

There are beach accesses at Oyster Bay, warm sheltered swimming at Campbell, Bennett, Horton, Piggott and Dinner bays, as well as David Cove, with its small beach and boat launch. Enjoy the Active Pass view and busy marine traffic in Active Pass from Georgina Point Heritage Park, or take an easy stroll down Campbell Point Marine Heritage Park. Mount Parke Regional Park, with its wonderful views, and Dinner Bay Community Park, with its family facilities, offer recreational opportunities. Established in 1987, Dinner Bay is 11 hectares with picnic tables, beach access, a fenced playground, playing field, volleyball net and horseshoe pitch, and - a rare find on the parched Gulf Islands - flush toilets.

Several heritage buildings, a museum is the Agricultural Hall, built about 1900, a dozen galleries, shops and studios specializing in painting, pottery, fabric art, dried flowers, home preserves, jewelry and carvings, as well as traditional festivities celebrated in July and August. For children, there are playgrounds at the Mayne Island School and Dinner Bay Regional Park.
