This cute bay is a beautiful spot to enjoy an ice cream on a summer evening. Alternatively rent a small powerboat at Sewells Marina and enjoy the sights around horseshoe bay. If driving a boat is not something you are comfortable with, take a short 20 minute ferry over to Bowen Island for great pizza, seafood, small local shops and hikes.
