On the southwestern tip of Bowen Island, the modern Cape Roger Curtis Lighthouse guides marine traffic along Howe Sound with a clean, white tower that contrasts beautifully with rocky shoreline and wind-shaped trees. The site is popular for sunsets, storm watching, and coastal photography, and it forms part of a network of island trails that suit half-day excursions from the city. Interpretive notes and wayfinding encourage visitors to stay on marked paths to protect sensitive habitat, while viewpoints reveal passing ferries, seals, and seasonal bird migrations. The lighthouse underscores the ongoing partnership between navigation technology and coastal community safety, continuing a tradition that has anchored life on the Salish Sea for generations. For map users, the pin provides a clear western reference point that pairs well with beaches, artisan studios, and cafés in Snug Cove, creating a balanced itinerary of nature and village charm.
