Known as a haven for relaxation and quality time in nature, Bowen Island is a must-visit in British Columbia before summer ends. Picture rocky cliffs, beautiful sandy beaches, and plenty of nature trails meandering through the surrounding forest. Oh, and tons of sunny patios, community events, and local art galleries to check out during your next visit.
A 20-minute ferry ride away from West Vancouver, Bowen Island is one of the most popular day trip destinations from Vancouver year-round.
Visitors can enjoy the day beachcombing or paddling their way through striking waters, go on a number of scenic hikes or bike rides, or check out one of the many outdoor yoga sessions or live concerts during the warmer months.
Head to the Bowen Cider House or Bowen Island Brewing for a refreshing sip, or dine farm-to-table at one of the island’s many local eateries.
