The Gulf Islands is a group of islands in the Salish Sea between Vancouver Island and the mainland coast of British Columbia. == Etymology == The name "Gulf Islands" comes from "Gulf of Georgia", the original term used by George Vancouver in his mapping of the southern part of the archipelago and which before the San Juan Island dispute also was taken to include what have since been called the San Juan Islands.
