Ganges is an interesting small town on a beautiful island. The people are open and welcoming and the prices are still manageable. With all the wonderful local produce and products we hoped the cuisine would be slightly better and there would be more choices. The Saturday market is a great addition to the excitement of the island.

First time. Will definitely come again. Lots to see. Barbs bakery was wonderful. The public library was gorgeous. Only thing is you need a car. Dependent on a travelling companion that drives. Visited the Sheep farm , The train Show and Lavender and Black farm.

People were very friendly & helpful Lovely weather kindness exceptionally prevalent Would love to live here but too expensive Our bnb was very kind in providing small meals for us & even making a special soup & fire on our last night. Its people that make the experience positive & they were lovely

Ganges has a number of restaurants and coffee shops but in many cases hours are somewhat limited (likely due to staff shortages at this time). There is plenty going on (including the busy Saturday market) as well as a variety of outdoor activities available to warrant a 3 day or longer stay. We have stayed in or near Ganges a number of times, and plan to return at least once each year, hopefully more.

Ganges is a lovely little walkable town But parking can be a problem. Lots of really cute little shops and eating spots. Really nice marina setting with areas to sit and enjoy the view. Fascinating history and a ton of scenic drives within minutes of the village. Saturday market has an incredible mix of crafts, food, and interesting local handiwork. We made breakfast of it with some amazing local pastries, bread, potstickers and coffee. Sat in the adjacent park and enjoyed the ambience. The perfect ending to a couple lovely days in the area. We drove all over the island and enjoyed the views from one end to the other. Went biking at Ruckle farm, had an amazing lunch at the Rocksalt café, sampled craft beer, goat cheese, local moonshine and met many very friendly local folks. Really a wonderful way to spend our anniversary getaway.

It is a small island so doesn't take long to go from place to place. The studios are varied and interesting, the beaches are a great source of shells, the ocean was calm and wonderful to watch the seals play The town itself is small with local boutiques and a very interesting market on Saturdays that the local artist display their wares. There is not a good steak house, but lots of places to eat
