Sightseeing

Not often do you have a provincial park situated so close to an urban core. A quaint 10 min. ferry ride takes you to this beautiful marine provincial park with access to biking, hiking trails, beaches and hidden coves, ocean swimming, all over looking downtown Nanaimo. There is also camping there that can be booked through the BC Parks website as well as a restaurant serving pub grub and beer during the summertime.

Great place to grab a bite of Mexcican food in what is an amazing atmosphere. The restaurant is located on a barge in the marina so the views are stunning. (seasonally open)
