About the location

Bowen Island is an idyllic west coast island (20 km sq) in the middle of Howe Sound, just a 20-minute ferry ride (with your vehicle) from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. With a population of about 4000, it is a vibrant and diverse community of cottage-owners, local artisans and farmers, commuting professionals as well as artists and musicians. It has a long history of being a summer seaside playground for city-dwellers - who in the early 1900’s came by steamship!
