Bowen Island 行前大合照~
Bowen Island |
 Ferry between Bowen Island & Horseshoe Bay Photo: Sewell's Marina, Horseshoe Bay | A quick 20-minute ferry ride west of Vancouver brings visitors to Bowen Island, an emerald island in the waters of Howe Sound. With a beautifully rugged landscape and friendly laid-back pace, Bowen Island is typical of the forested island retreats to be found along the coast of British Columbia. Bowen Island was originally inhabited by the Squamish First Nations who used it as their hunting and fishing grounds. Early settlers discovered shake dwellings and a smoke house in Snug Cove. Bowen also served as a neutral meeting ground for the Squamish and other First Nations, as well as a stopping place on the way up or down the coast. The first preemption of land by a white settler was in 1874, by William Eaton, who claimed 160 acres south of Killarney Lake.

Bowen Island was named in 1860 after Rear-Admiral James Bowen (1751-1835), master of the HMS Queen Charlotte, the flagship of Lord Howe. While on an exploration of the Strait of Georgia back in 1791, the Spanish explorer Narvaez had already named this island and the one to the west 'the isles of Apodaca,' after Spanish naval official Sebastian Ruiz de Apodaca.

Although now primarily a residential area, Bowen Island's beauty was not wasted on the picnickers and weekend explorers who first developed Bowen Island as a recreation spot early last century. And a hundred years later, this enchanted island attracts even more visitors from around the globe to its verdant coniferous forests and mountainous vistas. Dubbed Happy Isle in the 1950s, this tiny port has been revitalized with an array of attractions, historic old turn-of-the-century buildings, quaint boutiques, and boardwalks.
The magic of Bowen Island is the peace and tranquility of country living that the island offers, while being so accessible to the amenities of Vancouver. Lakes, beaches, crown forest lands, beautiful hiking trails, and absolute serenity await those residents and visitors who choose to leave the hustle of city life behind them.
Population: 3,501
Location: Bowen Island is located in Howe Sound, just an hour from downtown Vancouver, which includes the relaxing ferry ride on the Queen of Capilano, from Horseshoe Bay, north of Vancouver.

The scenery is nice and it's really close to the ferry docks so it's great for grabbing a quick pint before you get on the ferry to Vancouver. Service was pretty quick too. They have all sorts of seating arrangements.I'll be back the next time I'm on Bowen Island.
