About this crossing

This crossing is what lets drivers make a loop without retracing any road: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, north along the Sunshine Coast with the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay ferry in the middle, over from Powell River to Comox, then back to the mainland from Nanaimo on Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay. Westview terminal is in the middle of Powell River, reached by car from the end of Courtenay Street, and it also handles the Texada Island ferry. Without a car, BC Transit and the seasonal Sunshine Coast Connector coach both reach it. Travellers without a booking can buy tickets until five minutes before departure.
