Horseshoe Bay is a major ferry terminal owned and operated by BC Ferries. Located in the suburb of West Vancouver, British Columbia, Horseshoe Bay provides a vehicle ferry link from the Lower Mainland to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island, a small island in the southern part of Howe Sound.

There are currently 3 berths at Horseshoe Bay, making it the third largest BC Ferries terminal, after Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay.

Because of the presence of the ferry terminal, Horseshoe Bay is a control city on the Upper Levels Highway westbound.

Incidents and accidents

In 2005, the Queen of Oak Bay ferry lost control and smashed into a number of private boats at the marina in Horseshoe Bay; no fatalities were reported.
