About Nanaimo
Nanaimo offers a diverse urban waterfront with coastal parks including Neck Point Park, Pipers Lagoon Park, Departure Bay, and Newcastle Island (Saysutshun). Pipers Lagoon and Neck Point feature rocky headlands, gravel beaches, and shallow lagoons ideal for scuba diving, sea kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and tide pooling. Newcastle Island offers coastal hiking trails and beachcombing. Monitoring tide tables is key here: low tide reveals a natural gravel spit connecting Pipers Lagoon to its outer rocky island, allowing walkers to cross safely, while high tide floods the spit under swift-moving tidal currents.
