Langdale (Sunshine Coast) ↔ Keats (Eastbourne)

Aim to reach Langdale 20 to 30 minutes early; check-in and ticket sales close five minutes before departure. For an Eastbourne sailing marked on request, call or text the operator at least one hour ahead with your name, phone number, travel time and pickup location.

This route charges a one-way passenger fare. The vessel accepts only Canadian cash or prepaid tickets, so get cash before reaching the dock or buy a ticket book in advance. Terminals accept the other payment methods listed in the current fare guide.

Langdale has paid short- and long-term parking. Eastbourne lists no parking. Leave your vehicle at Langdale and pay for the full stay, or arrange a drop-off at Eastbourne. Do not count on finding an unofficial space near the island dock.

Yes. BC Ferries says bicycles travel free with a passenger fare, and the route fare table lists stowage as free. Charge an e-bike before reaching the dock. Call the operator ahead of time if you have a cargo bike, trailer or another large cycle because the passenger boat is compact.

No. Eastbourne is a foot-passenger-only dock, and vehicles cannot travel on this service. Park at Langdale if you are coming from the mainland. On Keats Island, arrange a pickup, bring a bicycle or confirm that you can comfortably walk from the dock; no public transportation is listed.

The route is non-bookable, but some Eastbourne stops still require an advance request. When the timetable says “on request,” call or text the operator at least one hour before departure. Check every sailing you plan to use because the boat does not call automatically at every marked request stop.

Some Langdale departures wait for the arriving Horseshoe Bay ferry, but BC Ferries does not say that all of them do. Match the exact departures in the current timetable and allow time to reach the small-vessel berth. If Eastbourne is marked on request, make that call separately.

BC Ferries lists no public transportation, terminal amenities, parking or accessibility options at Eastbourne. Bring water and weather protection, check the route from the dock to your destination and arrange assistance before travel if you need it.
