Nanaimo Harbourfront Walkway
Harbourfront Walkway
A seaside walkway about 4 km long along Nanaimo's harbour, linking the marina, seaplane base, parks and the Old City Quarter.
The Harbourfront Walkway runs north from the southern yacht marina to Maffeo Sutton Park and Swy-a-lana Lagoon, about 4 km in total. Along the way you can see fishing boats, yachts and seaplanes that take off and land frequently. The wooden boardwalks are lined with seafood restaurants, ice-cream shops and public art. The walkway is close to downtown and the Old City Quarter, where you can browse shops and cafés housed in 19th-century buildings and try the local invention, the Nanaimo bar. Maffeo Sutton Park is the ferry terminal for Newcastle Island, and summer weekends often bring markets and events.
