Barnston Island is an unincorporated island located in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Greater Vancouver Electoral Area A. Although the island is unincorporated and not officially part of any municipality, mailing addresses on the island use Surrey as the city name.
Located in the Fraser River between Surrey and Pitt Meadows, Barnston Island has no direct road access to the rest of the area. It is accessed through a short 5-minute ferry route from Surrey on 104 Avenue across Parson's Channel; the ferry ride is free. Barnston Island's main road travels along the perimeter of the island.
Barnston Island contains mostly farmland and is also home to the Barnston Island Indian Reserve 3, which is located near the southeast part of the island.
