In stark contrast to the fast pace of Vancouver,
only 19 km (12 mi) to the northwest, Bowen Island remains distinctly rural with
only one village—Snug Cove. Since the early 1900s, Bowen Island has been a prime
picnic destination and weekend retreat for those wishing to escape the commotion
of city life. Each year, throngs of people board the ferry from Horseshoe
Bay in West Vancouver
to claim a piece of the island's tranquility by walking its meadows, biking the
hilly roads or paddling around its waters. At only 32 sq km (20 sq mi), the island's
lakes mirror images of dense forests and mountain backdrops—also providing a plethora
of adventurous pursuits. Hike to the top of Mount
Gardner for a spectacular birds-eye view of the Pacific coast or hop on a
tour boat and explore all the islands treasures up close.
