Due to topography climate varies throughout the island. Generally points of land nearest to the ocean are the mildest due to the moderating effect of the water. Vesuvius is one of the mildest climates because of the warmer waters on the west side. Maracibo, Scott Point, Old Scott Road, and the very north end of Salt Spring Island is heavily influenced by these moderating effects. The forest-mountain setting is strikingly beautiful, with the flora and fauna characteriestics of the Gulf Islands mediterranean ecological niche.
