Compact cultural garden on Cormorant Island featuring carved totem poles, native plantings and coastal views — a strong mix of Indigenous art and natural textures. Visit spring–early autumn for blooms and milder weather; golden hour and overcast afternoons bring rich colors and soft contrast. The site is walkable from Alert Bay village; likely free access but observe local protocols and avoid touching carvings. Parking is limited in town; plan for a short walk and quieter weekdays.
