Lions Bay is a small village located on the Sea-to-Sky Corridor between West Vancouver and Squamish in southwestern British Columbia. With a population of approximately 1,300 residents, it is one of the smallest incorporated municipalities in the province. The community sits along the eastern shore of Howe Sound, with the Coast Mountains rising dramatically behind it.
Established in the 1920s and officially incorporated in 1971, Lions Bay has maintained its residential character while remaining a gateway to outdoor recreation. The village is primarily accessible by the Sea-to-Sky Highway, which connects it to surrounding communities. The area is known for its proximity to hiking trails, mountain access, and marine views. Local amenities include a community centre, school, and small commercial services that serve resident needs. The village’s quiet, forested setting and waterfront location continue to attract residents seeking a retreat from larger urban centres while remaining within commuting distance to the Lower Mainland.
