small waterfront community of Bowser is located on the east coast of Vancouver Island overlooking Georgia Strait. Named after William John Bowser, B.C. Premier in 1915-16, Bowser is a favourite stop for clam and shellfish diggers.

Bowser is part of Lighthouse Country, a stretch of Highway 19A that runs along the oceanside from Qualicum Beach to Fanny Bay across from Denman and Hornby Islands.
