Granville Island offre qualcosa per tutti, sia che si tratti dell'assortimento dell’artigianato locale, che include arte aborigena e souvenir prodotti localmente e venduti nei negozi e nelle gallerie locali, sia che si tratti della cultura in mostra nei luoghi di spettacolo. Tra i suoi numerosi punti di riferimento vi sono la Emily Carr University of Art and Design, la Vancouver Theatresports League e la Granville Island Brewing Company.
