Pipers Lagoon

Just 11 km from Coast Bastion Hotel, Pipers Lagoon Park is one of Nanaimo’s most scenic waterfront parks. Known for its rugged coastline, tidal pools, and rocky outcrops, the park is a favorite for walking, photography, and birdwatching. Trails wind along the shoreline and through Garry oak meadows, offering panoramic views of the Strait of Georgia and distant coastal mountains. At low tide, visitors can explore tidal flats and discover marine life, while high tide transforms the area into a picturesque lagoon. 

Popular with locals for sunrise and sunset walks, Pipers Lagoon Park is a must-visit attraction for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Vancouver Island.
