Canadian Ports: Bowen Island BC

For years a favourite vacation spot for Vancouverites, Bowen Island is only a 20 minute ferry ride from Vancouver & has grown into an increasingly popular "up-market" home base for those willing to commute to Vancouver by ferry.
With a year round resident population of some 3,000, the Bowen Island population swells each summer as visitors arrive to enjoy the hiking trails, lakes, beaches and unspoiled forests.
Island accommodation is not plentiful so if planning an over-night stay, reservations made well in advance is a must.
