Chrome Island


Chrome Island is the site of a light station in the Salish Sea/Georgia Strait on the coast of Vancouver Island in an area known as Baynes Sound. Chrome Island is located off the southeast tip of Denman Island and east-northeast of the harbour at Deep Bay, British Columbia.

The Island was known as Yellow Rock until 1940, when the name changed to prevent confusion with a similarly named island. Archaeological studies have explored evidence of pre-contact human use including petroglyphs, human bones and a midden of discarded shells.
