These side-by-side communities are located on the eastern edge of Vancouver Island between the Comox Valley and Qualicum Beach. Denman Island and Hornby Island are popular tourist locations east of Bowser-Deep Bay within the Strait of Georgia. Many homes have scenic views of these islands and the waterfront in general.
The population of Bowser and Deep Bay is quite small, around 2000 inhabitants. If you are looking for a small-town option, the Bowser-Deep Bay region is worth considering. While it isn’t completely remote, it gives off a peaceful, serene vibe that is harder and harder to come across these days.
Several shopping and recreational activities are available for residents to enjoy in half an hour or less. A short twenty-minute drive south from Bowser will get you to Qualicum Beach with its selection of shops, golf courses, and additional waterfront. A thirty-minute drive north of Deep Bay will reach Courteney, with even more shopping options and a nearby airport. Being so close to a variety of amenities makes the Bowser-Deep Bay region desirable for families, retirees, and young couples.
Nature is everywhere in Bowser and Deep Bay. Outdoor enthusiasts feel like they are in heaven when they visit these communities. There are many things to do in Bowser and Deep Bay for outdoor recreation.

Deep Bay is a prime fishing location, especially for chinook salmon. A beautiful marina makes access to your boat easily accessible, even for those that do not own waterfront properties. Sail east towards Hornby Island and Denman Island for a sunny day trip, or cruise up and down the coastline and take in the breathtaking views.
Birdwatchers especially enjoy the amount of Brant Geese, Common Loons, Trumpeter Swans, and other birds that grace the skies and shorelines of Deep Bay. Nearby hiking trails offer different species of birds to seek with your binoculars, along with some good exercise options.
Those that enjoy golfing will appreciate the number of high-quality golf courses located nearby, especially in Qualicum Beach. The Arrowsmith Golf and Country Club is a favourite among locals, for example.
Both Bowser and Deep Bay contain similar environments for outdoor activities like swimming, beach combing, kayaking, windsurfing, clam digging, and more. Nearby Horne Lake Caves has some of the best cave-exploring experiences on Vancouver Island. When you’re done spelunking, Horne Lake provides yet another opportunity for watersports.
The Bowser-Deep Bay region offers everything from quaint waterfront cottages to large, spacious lots. Deep Bay and Bowser's real estate listings offer condos, townhouses, single-family homes, beachfront cottages, and mobile homes. It doesn’t matter what type of home you are looking for, as homes are within walking distance of the beach, are on the waterfront, or have spectacular views of the ocean. This makes living on or near the water more accessible for various housing types.
Lighthouse Country is a term locals use to describe the Bowser-Deep Bay region. This region extends along Highway 19A between Qualicum Beach and Fanny Bay. Deep Bay, Bowser, Qualicum Bay, and Horne Lake are all considered part of Lighthouse Country.
