For many years Bowen was primarily considered a summer venue. Now we welcome visitors to enjoy the beauty of each season – dazzling fall colours, refreshing winter winds and rains, early spring blossoms and, of course, stunning summer sunshine. There are many adventures to uncover all over the island anytime of the year. We hope you’ll find a special place to stay, catch a glorious sunrise or sunset, gather around a fireplace and, if needed, turn a winter-storm power outage into a romantic candle-light evening.

If you want to escape the big city, and you’re willing to embrace a simpler way of being, you’ll find small-town charm, artistic creativity and, occasionally, a little inconvenience. You won’t find any big box stores or fast-food franchises here.
