The Malaspina Galleries are a series of dramatic sandstone rock formations along the northwest coast of Gabriola Island. These formations are part of a community park near Descanso Bay. Over many years, erosion from waves, wind, and water has carved the sandstone into large wave-like or “rip curl” shapes. Some of these formations even form overhangs that visitors can walk under, creating beautiful light, shadows, and textures.
