Found on the shores of a ragged protrusion at the edge of West Vancouver is the picturesque community of Horseshoe Bay. This rural slice of Canada sits in a niche between heavily-wooded, evergreen hills and surrounds a calm inlet of the Howe Sound; an expanse of sea that cuts a triangular chunk out of the British Columbia mainland. Most of the village stretches along a charming promenade. Here one can take a stroll upon the spring-green lawns of Horseshoe Bay park and watch the yachts bob gently between the jetties of the busy marina. Deeper inland, where the grid of tree-lined streets start to rise towards the rolling heartland, the village is moulded by a mishmash of boutique shops, family-owned restaurants, and an eclectic collection of quaint local households. The port of Horseshoe Bay is found on the eastern edge of the bay, just to one side of Sewell’s Marina. This sprawling facility is located at the end of the extensive Trans-Canada Highway where a trio of departure piers jut into the glistening waters of the inlet. The ferry terminal is found at the foot of these piers. Facilities here include a streamlined check-in service featuring self-service ticket machines, a small car-park and vending machines selling soft drinks. Travelling to and from the port is easy due to its prime location at the end of the Trans-Canada Highway and its close proximity to the central district of Vancouver city. The city centre is less than a half-hour drive south along the highway, a route that is also traversed by buses leaving from the Bay Street terminal located just a few steps outside the port entrance. Route 99, otherwise known as the Sea to Sky Highway, also heads north along the curving Howe Sound shoreline. It’s a stunning route that snakes along the base of the region’s coastal mountains and between the vast swathe of emerald woodland, heading towards the group of small settlements found there.
Langdale BC is used as a gateway for passengers travelling from Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast on the south east coast of Canada. The ferries cross between Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Langdale on the Sechelt Peninsula; the departures run frequently throughout the day and typically last around an hour. According to many passengers, the crossing from Vancouver to Langdale is worth the trip alone. The stunning views of the lower sunshine coast provide the on board entertainment, and the staff are famously incredibly organised and efficient. Deck seven is regarded as the ideal spot on a sunny day; there are endless photo opportunities and the warm breeze is the perfect touch for an extremely pleasant experience. The only significant industry operating in Langdale is the ferry terminal. The revenue generated from the port has become pivotal for the island, boosting the economy and obviously providing jobs for the local residents. Away from Langdale, up and down the Sunshine Coast, tourists will find ample opportunities to explore natural landscapes and embrace Canada’s incredible east coast shoreline. The Skookumchuk Narrows Provincial Park is a particular highlight, offering some of the most spectacular currents in North America. The entire coast offers picturesque views, perfect for those who enjoy taking life at a slower pace. Hiring a rental car is generally considered the best way to get around, with long stretches of road covering much of the shoreline. For those not keen on driving, there is also a bus service operating around Langdale, which picks up and drops passengers off at the ferry terminal.
