It is approximately 6 km wide by 12 km long, with the island at its closest point about 3 km west of the mainland. The population of 3,680 is supplemented in the summer by roughly 1,500 visitors, as Bowen Island is a popular vacation home location for British Columbians. Approximately 500 workers and over 200 students commute to offices and schools on the mainland each day.[citation needed] The island has a land area of 49.94 km² (19.28 sq mi).
