Bowen Island Marina is open all year, limited guest moorage, reservations required, 15 amp power.  Located on the starboard side when entering Snug Cove.  Shops with ice cream, pies, pastries, gifts and kayak rentals.

Snug Cove on Bowen Island is a favourite stop.  It has a public dock and two marinas and is served by ferry from Horseshoe Bay.  From there you can take a bus to downtown Vancouver.  Or take the seasonal foot ferry that runs directly to Granville Island.

The commercial village at Bowen Island has several boutiques, restaurants, grocery store, bakery/coffee house, pharmacy, wine store and liquor agency, and a couple of pubs.  Bowen Island residents are artistic, interesting, and eclectic, and the local shopping reflects the character of the population.  A public market wither bakery, locally grown items, crafts and artwork is in the green building above the marina, open Saturday and Sundays in July and August.

Pubs:  Visit Bowen Island Pub located in an impressive building up the hill; also new at Snug Cove is the Cooper Spirit Distillery with a selection of locally crafted vodka, gin and whisky.

Dock Dance:  The annual Dock Dance, a benefit dance for the local volunteer firefighters, is held in early August.  Participants take over the dock at Snug Cove for a party that literally rocks the dock with music and dancing.

Golf:  The 9-hole par 35 Bowen Island Golf Club is challenging and beautiful, with greens that are devilishly hard to read.   Union Steamship Co. provides transportation for its guests.
