There are three main seasonal creeks draining the Island, and several man-made reservoirs, only one of which is over one acre in size. Groundwater is found in fractures in the bedrock. Public access to the shoreline and beaches is good and the west side of the island offers an attractive walk at mid to low tide. The Meadow Valley is at the center of Thetis Island, stretching from near to Pilkey Point Road on the south about a mile to Cufra Inlet at the North. On Thetis Island you can find privacy within the safety, acceptance and support offered by our small community.
Crime is almost unknown and the Island is an ideal place for family and children.
Unlike many other Gulf Islands, Thetis remains relatively undiscovered and has no public land or Parks to attract casual visitors. It's small, winding roads, over hung with trees, and it's quiet oceanfront set the tone of peace and tranquility. During the year there are many community activities, Craft sales etc. At the same time you have access to many outdoor recreation activities and to urban centers from Thetis' central strategic location. The attractions and advantages of Thetis also hold true in relation to the San Juan Islands.
