"Located just twelve miles northwest of Vancouver, Bowen Island is a place like no other. A scenic 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver brings you to Snug Cove, the heart of Bowen. Be prepared to leave the hustle of city life behind you. The magic of Bowen Island is that it offers the peace and tranquility of country living yet is so very accessible to the amenities of Vancouver."
