owen Island sits in Howe Sound at the entrance to the Georgia Straight, just three nautical miles from West Vancouver. We’ve been welcoming visitors since the Squamish First Nations people summered here, and earned the moniker ‘the people’s playground’ in the early 1890s when mainlanders began to flock to Bowen for fun and frolic on ‘The Happy Isle’. Take a hike, play a round of golf, kayak, or just savour the quiet. Enjoy our isle for the day, stay for a rejuvenating rest or revel in a romantic weekend.

"... the island looks like one of the most liveable parts of the world’s most liveable city." In the time it takes many inner dwellers to reach the city, I’m in a tiny island community, surrounded by thick forest and locals living an idyllic, rustic lifestyle. While the island has its tourist attractions (a golf course, kayaking, nice cafes and a fantastic chocolate shop), it retains a village-like feel. Indeed, many Vancouverites seem to be unaware of its existence, or at least have never made the trip out to visit. This seems to suit the locals just fine, who comfortably live out a Northern Exposure-style existence on the edge of a bustling metropolis. Still, the island looks like one of the most liveable parts of the world’s most liveable city.” Craig Platt, The Sydney Morning Herald

E love our dogs on Bowen Island and our dogs love the five acres of fenced, forested off-leash frolicking at Bowen Island Dog Ranch.
Large and small transient berthage available. Free WIFI. Self-contained two-bedroom cottages-from the original Union Steamship Company-complete with kitchens. Children and pets welcome. Located on the Boardwalk overlooking Snug Cove. Available for overnight lodging and group functions. The Summer House is perfect for seminar receptions or private parties. A Gift Store located on the Boardwalk offers sportswear for adults and kids, icecream, a unique selection of Bowen Island souvenirs and memorabilia and the exclusive Union Steamship line of merchandise. A true Bowen Island shopping experience that provides all-occasion gift-giving. The marina’s new reception desk and well-stocked chandlery is a great place to stock up on all your boating needs: from buoys to life jackets, power adapters to cord sets, docking line to motor oil, marine parts and accessories, books and charts, galley ware, simple sundries and even fishing gear.
The Union SteamShip Marina Resort is the gateway to Bowen Island. The resort includes a chandlery, gift shop (with ice-cream) and cottages. And Doc Morgan's Pub & Restaurant (604947-0808) plans to be open for the summer. For the scoop on the rest of Bowen, take one of the great guided explorations of the island by Bowen Island Tours.

ith the 20 minute ferry ride you can leave your car in Horseshoe Bay and use the Bowen Island Community Shuttle. Walking on the ferry gives you the opportunity to arrive closer to sailing time than if you were driving on. Take a Bus: Horseshoe Bay is serviced regularly from downtown Vancouver by West Vancouver’s Blue Buses. Number 250 (the scenic route) and 257 (the express) arrive and depart from the ferry terminal. Connect with the Bowen Island Community Shuttle: Our friendly bus drivers schedule their routes to connect commuters with ferry
sailings, and have been known to act as tour guides—and all for the price of a bus ticket! Keep your transfer, we're a Translink service.

Phone to enquire about their B&B rooms-every room is named after one of the USSC Steamships. Evergreen Hall Guest House B&B, originally the Union Steamship Dance Hall, is a magical old building that has been transformed into a B&B, offering a private, self-contained upstairs suite and two B&B rooms downstairs with a shared bath. And for folks wanting a quiet intimate space for a small business retreat, the bright main floor meeting room is perfect—flow outdoors on the large deck in the summer or cozy down in the winter with the wood burning fireplace. (You can almost hear them jivin' from the ol' days.) The self-contained Union SteamShip Cottages near the marina have been carefully preserved to maintain their original character.
Enjoy the water view from the private spacious upstairs suite, or relax in one of the downstairs B&B rooms. The Hall is available for small meetings along with elegant dining space & large kitchen on request.

raciously hosting special days and memorable experiences are as intrinsic to Bowen Island as the visual feast and idyllic setting The Rock has to share. We’ve been creating mainlander celebrations for decades and delivering unforgettable events for corporate retreats, family reunions and weddings much to the delight of all those who attend—it’s all part of our island charm. Whether it’s the intimate details of a perfectly planned Alderwood Farm Wedding or the unobtrusive service for a corporate retreat at The Lodge at the Old Dorm, the 20 minute cruise over sets the stage for this enchanting journey–everyone feels like they’re a million miles away.
