Walker Hook is located on the north end of Saltspring Island in the Trincomali Chanel and boasts one of the Top 5 beaches/spits I have visited in the Gulf Islands. I often anchor just off the beach and take the dinghy in for the day.
I recently read a story published by Raincoast Books about Toni Onley, a very well-known BC artist. “Toni Onley’s British Columbia, A Tribute“. He had landed his airplane on the beach at Walker’s Hook and got stuck in the sand. At the time, is was a nudist colony, and a dozen inhabitants rushed to help him push the plane off! The story goes that a week later, he was back in Vancouver, walking down Georgia Street and was approached by a well-dressed woman who was quite amused that he did not recognize her.
