Park your car in Horseshoe Bay - walk onto the ferry and hike around Killarney Lake (2 hours 9 km) then have lunch or dinner at the pub or restaurants - then catch the ferry back. Drive back from Horseshoe Bay along Marine Drive - it's slower but much prettier.

You can get the 246 bus westbound to downtown from Montroyal Blvd 50 metres above the house. Or you can take the 246 eastbound and visit Lonsdale Quay Market and take the seabus over to Vancouver. There's also some good brewpubs in the old shipyards that I have yet to explore!! But you should ride the seabus!
