Where to eat, drink and shop on Bowen Island

The perfect summer day trip, Bowen Island is only a 20-minute ferry ride from Vancouver and full of natural beauty (nature walks, hikes, beach time, and ocean kayaking), but did you know that it’s also a great place to eat, drink and discover all kinds of artisanal and home-spun treats and delights.
