The Gulf Islands is the name collectively given to the islands in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the mainland Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. They are also the name New Zealanders give to the Hauraki Gulf Islands, off the Auckland coast.
The name "Gulf Islands" comes from a historical misnomer for the Strait of Georgia, the Gulf of Georgia.
The Gulf Islands are usually divided into two groups, the southern and northern Gulf Islands. The dividing line is approximately that formed by the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia on Vancouver Island, and the mouth of the Fraser River on the mainland.
