Bowen Island
Yes, there's Whistler and the local mountains in the winter, but in the summer, Vancouver's islands come alive:
15 minutes from Vancouver, Bowen is the city slickers choice for weekend getaways. Take either the Water Taxi from Granville Island, or BC Ferries to get here. Once ashore, don't miss Tuscany for their signature pizza with pear and brie, or Artisan Square for Sunday brunch with amazing views.
