Horseshoe Bay is a small village 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 up it. A major B.C. Ferry 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.
