Alright, so I'm in Horseshoe Bay right behind me the ferries just leaving if you're going to Sunshine Coast, Bowen Island
Victoria or Nanaimo? You're gonna take that ferry from downtown Vancouver Canada. It's super easy to get to there's lots of buses
All right. Yes, there are a lot of buses that come to Horseshoe Bay
But before I start this video up
I can only assume if you're watching this video that you're stuck in Horseshoe Bay you missed your ferry
BC Ferries that canceled sailings or there's just a huge long line up and you're looking for something to do
Well in this video, I'll try and help you out
Before I begin it is super easy to get to Horseshoe Bay. It is an end destination
So there are tons of buses that head on down to Horseshoe Bay
It's best to look up online
But even from downtown Vancouver Canada as I am here
You can get the Express bus that goes straight to Horseshoe Bay, but be prepared
It'll still take you 45 minutes to get to Horseshoe Bay
So keep yourself busy coz this is me and the bus to Horseshoe Bay on the Express bus
I was standing up the entire time. I was up against some strangers. It's not always fun, but it's cheap
If you don't want to do that you can drive
Now parking is pretty bad. If you come during the summertime, it's pretty crazy
Downtown Horseshoe Bay just small. There's very limited amount of parking if you decide to park downtown
There's a two-hour limit and they're pretty strict about it. If you want to park the longer and jump on the ferry
BC Ferries has parking at Horseshoe Bay, but it's expensive
I'd recommend going online, looking for some park and ride spots. I believe there are some
Alright. Now, I know you're thinking I'm stuck here at Horseshoe Bay. What am I gonna do? I
Got you. I'm gonna try and help you out. So here's the first option. You can explore downtown Horseshoe Bay
They filmed tons of movies here. It's super neat town
But it's small. It's two or three blocks long. You can walk the entire downtown area and 10 to 15 minutes
They do have a lot of good restaurants
So I'd recommend just getting some food give me something to eat
Check out a few of the local stores. They have some tourist stores
Some unique fun stores to check out if that's not your thing
It is only going to take you about 10 to 15 minutes to walk through downtown Horseshoe Bay
Now you can also explore the waterfront. It's right across the street from
Downtown Horseshoe Bay. So it's easy to get to they have a playground. They have a lookout spot
They have this dock I was walking along
It's a pretty relaxing spot. But again, it's small
it only takes you 10 to 15 minutes to walk out from down here and
You're like what else am I gonna do?
Well, here's the tricky thing. Horseshoe Bay is very much weather dependent if it's raining
I don't want to get stuck in Horseshoe Bay. It's a very small town
There's not going to be a lot of things to do if you're not going to do things outside
So if it's raining if the weather's if you're coming into Bad season, I'd recommend skipping out through Horseshoe Bay
There just isn't a lot to do
All right, so I really had no plants what we were gonna do today we just went for a drive got my Starbucks coffee here
And yeah, we ended up in Horseshoe Bay actually
It seems like I've been out here a lot lately. I don't know why just and it was just so beautiful
anyways, we're at Whytecliff Park and I've never been here before so and
We actually kind of stumbled on this place a little bit by accident, but if you ever in Horseshoe Bay
You're staying overnight there, waiting to catch a ferry, or you missed your ferry or whatever you've done
Come by and check this place out. It's super close. It's probably only like 20 minutes from the village
Super easy drive and it's got awesome lookout points, steep rocks
So I'm gonna just have to show you this place. Let me show you
So apparently that Island right in the background just about to show you there's actually people walking on it
I'm not sure how you get over there. But imma see if I can do it
Let me just show you there's a little bit of walkway
So I guess you might go do it but I'm gonna see if I can get on this island
The walkway seems to be right there and I've seen people away over there so
All right, so I'd never made it to the island I kind of turned back I could have done it
But it's getting late and the tides coming in. So I just said screw it maybe another time. All right, so there is one more
Spot I got for Horseshoe Bay
If for whatever reason you decided to spend the night in Horseshoe Bay and the weather's good head on out to Bowen Island
It's only a 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay. It's super cheap
The ferry goes about every hour you can walk along Main Street
Kayak, there's lots of easy hikes right near the ferry dock
This is me. Hiking up Mount Gardner
It's one of the tallest mountains on Bowen Island. If the weather is nice you can get some amazing views overlooking the Sunshine Coast
