Bowen 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

WE love our dogs on Bowen Island
and our dogs love the five acres of fenced, forested off-leash frolicking at Bowen Island Dog Ranch.
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 (604-947-0808) 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.
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, ice-cream, 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.
Walking distance to all amenities.

The Snug Cafe’s breakfasts and lunches are great, wholesome food, thoughtfully prepared. If it's a little piece of heaven that
tempts your taste buds, drop into Cocoa West Chocolatier-all organic ingredients in each delectable handmade chocolate. If you like great pub food, music and dancin', The Bowen Island Pub is the place to be. Tuscany Restaurant has rich, savory, seasonal Mediterranean creations, and takes gourmet pizzas to a new level. Food critic for the Globe and Mail, Alexandra Gill, raved, “. . . of all my new Bowen Island discoveries Artisan Eats definitely tops the list”. Rustique delights with specialty crepes and waffles as well as mouth-watering breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare.

With 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.

A visit to Out of The Blue Boutique for women's fashion is reason enough for a trip to the island.Up the hill in Artisan Square you’ll discover unique small shops with intriguing products and sophisticated handcrafted pieces.

Movement Global is a locally designed line of uniquely modular clothing crafted from bamboo fibre-the vegetable cashmere. The breathability of the bamboo fibre make the line a natural clothing choice for a yoga session. Artigiani Milanesi manufactures beautiful handcrafted Italian cashmere knitwear right here on Bowen. You owe it to yourself to visit.No trip to Bowen is complete without a visit to Cocoa West Chocolatier for their handmade organic chocolates. But don't spoil your appetite for the great food, pastries and coffee offered at the popular Artisan Eats.

Village Square, located at Snug Cove's four corners, has an interesting mix of food and fun sure to catch your fancy. If you're a sushi fan, Bowen Sushi will satisfy your appetite—
eat in or call ahead to order a party pack for a great picnic meal at the beach. And if there's anything you need for your pet while on The Rock, check-out Bowen Pet Supply.
Phoenix is our local toy and bookstore and ticket wicket for all that's happenin' on the island—they have their finger on the pulse of island activities and it's a great little shop for all ages. Cates Pharmacy is a full service pharmacy with a complement of homeopathic products and another great spot for those small indulgences. And speaking of indulgences, treat yourself to a relaxing and rejuvenating eco-friendly treatment at Heartstone Spa-you'll float out refreshed.
Coffee drinkers, don't pass up a visit to the Bowen Roasting Company where they slow roast small batches of organic beans to preserve the complex flavours-you'll love it! And if you're a drinker of a different type and like to experience different wines, pop into the Bowen Beer and Wine Cellar and try something new, or find an old favourite.

the Union Steamship Company. They now specialize in fully catered retreat gatherings and small business conferences for up to twenty people. 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.
For all the comforts of home with four bedrooms and a Deep Bay view, check-out Snug Point Cottage. For a view from the other side of Deep Bay, Simply Safari offers a hot-tub and decor with an African flavour. If you’re walking and enjoy the village ambience, Bowmart Accommodations is close to everything.
Bowen Island Hideaway has a serene view of Killarney Lake and The Guest Cottage is a self-contained cottage just minutes from the same lake. Evergreen Guest Cottage in the Dorman Bay area has 2 bedrooms and a big deck with a water view.

“Within Reach, Beyond Comparison”
A unique offering, The Chocolate Suite was inspired to create an indulging chocolate experience.
Natural, unconventional and elegantly casual, the island's lush idyllic surroundings create the perfect backdrop for
that special day. Imagine celebrating your vows in a magical two-acre pastoral setting like Alderwood Farm with landscaped gardens, delightful animals, a charming chapel above the barn and memorable food. It's truly an enchanting place to make your memories. There's also a cozy little cottage for two.
The Bluffs on Bowen studio delivers a panoramic view of spectacular sunsets. If waking to the ocean at your door is intriguing, Bowen Island Beach House is ideal. Luxurious and stylish, it hangs at the water's edge. It's a perfect spot to soak in the view and get away from it all.
For the golf enthusiasts, a short scenic drive transports you to the island’s idyllic Bowen Island Golf Club, a nine-
hole public course with dazzling ocean views and a great little clubhouse restaurant.
