Bowen — Vancouver’s Neighborhood Island
Very few islands worldwide enjoy the benefit of being located within such easy commuting distance to one of the world’s most beautiful cities. At the entrance to English Bay, flanked by West Vancouver & Vancouver, Bowen Island is as close to the City’s cosmopolitan energy and amenities as many suburbs.
Yet the instant you step off the ferry onto Bowen, you enter another world. Your shoulders relax. You breathe more freely. People smile and talk to one another. They even say hello to strangers. There are no big box stores. Not much traffic except at the ferry. There are no streetlights or traffic lights – at night just plenty of stars.

In the time it takes many {suburban} dwellers to reach the city, I’m in a tiny island community, surrounded by thick forest ... the island looks like one of the most liveable parts of the world’s most liveable city. (Craig Platt)
