About the Horseshoe Bay – Langdale crossing
Langdale and the Sunshine Coast are reached from Horseshoe Bay via a BC Ferries service that completes the 9-nautical-mile crossing in 40 minutes. The route across Howe Sound is sailed by three vessels: the Queen of Coquitlam, Queen of Oak Bay, and Queen of Surrey.
Service runs every day, with the first departure from Horseshoe Bay at 07:30 and the final sailing at 23:30. The operator schedules 29 sailings on this domestic Canadian route. Without this direct ferry, road access to the Sunshine Coast from the Vancouver area requires a significant detour north.
