Fly into Vancouver International Airport (YVR) or reach the Vancouver region overland, then access the Porteau Cove shore site via Highway 99 on the Sea to Sky corridor. BC Parks places Porteau Cove about 38 km north of Vancouver and 20 km south of Squamish, but gives no reliable door-to-door travel time. For day-boat diving, the operator lists a separate dock meeting point in Horseshoe Bay and limited transport from its Vancouver shop. No ferry is needed for the defined park-and-Horseshoe-Bay visitor circuit. The Sunshine Coast ferry crossing is outside scope. BC Parks; boat trip.
A suitable private car is usually the most straightforward way to carry heavy gear between Vancouver, Lions Bay, Porteau Cove and Squamish. BC Parks warns that Porteau parking is limited and unsafe drop-offs cannot be accommodated.
