Passage Island (British Columbia)

Passage Island is a small island near West Vancouver, British Columbia. The island is mostly woodland and cliffs. It marks the entrance to Howe Sound, and the ferry from Departure Bay regularly passes it.

In 1893, the island was sold for a dollar an acre. A small subdivision was built in the 1960s.
