Neck Point Park
A headland park on the northern outskirts of Nanaimo, surrounded by rocks, bays and pine trails, with views of seabirds, sea lions and sunsets.
Neck Point Park sits on a headland in northern Nanaimo. Wooden boardwalks and trails connect rocky islets, pebble bays and arbutus groves. The views are wide, with the Strait of Georgia and the mountains of the mainland coast in the distance. In winter and spring you can often see sea lions, seals and many kinds of sea duck. Locals love it for watching sunsets and diving. Pipers Lagoon Park, about 2 kilometres away, is equally scenic and can be visited at the same time. Entry is free, there is a car park, and most of the trails are gentle dirt paths.
