Deas Island

It is home to a regional park approximately 300 acres (120 ha) in size; and has three historic buildings: Burrvilla, a stately Victorian home; Inverholme, a one-room schoolhouse; and the Delta Agricultural Hall.

Between 1895 and the 1940s, the peninsula had a small Greek settlement with a population of about 80 at its peak.

The peninsula is notable as the site of the southern end of the George Massey Tunnel (originally the Deas Island Tunnel), which is part of Highway 99 and connects Delta to Richmond.

A small bridge completes the connection between Deas Island and the main part of Delta.
