A 20-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay lands you in Snug Cove on Bowen Island, an idyllic getaway for locals and visitors alike, with its sheltered waters, great fishing, beaches and 5,261 hectares (13,000 acres) of forest to explore.
Crippen Regional Park and Killarney Lake are favourite spots to picnic, hike and bird watch. There are also a number of galleries and artist studios to enjoy, as well as a wide variety of dining establishments, pubs, an English Tea House and a chocolatier.
Enjoy a wonderful day trip or overnight excursion by starting at one of the many Bed & Breakfasts and cottages for rent around the island.
