Horseshoe Bay is an area within the city of West Vancouver. It has a population of about 1,000 permanent residents. Situated right on the western tip of West Vancouver, at the entrance to Howe Sound, the village marks the western end of Highway 1 on the British Columbia mainland. It is also the southern end of the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with Lions Bay just 15 minutes north. A major BC Ferries terminal is located here, providing vehicle ferry links to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, and Bowen Island, a small island in the southern part of Howe Sound. In 2005 a ferry lost control and smashed into a number of private boats at the marina in Horseshoe Bay; no fatalities were reported.
