Piper's Lagoon

Pipers Lagoon Park is the most exotic oceanside park in Nanaimo. The lagoon itself is the size of three football fields to put that into perspective. You can park at one end of the park and walk along a narrow, straight path between the lagoon and the restless surf of the ocean. The waves from the open water have created a wonderful pebbly beach with a great deal of beach glass smoothed down. Then it gets rocky; there is some larger rocks so you can do alittle rock climbing, and one larger hill covered in arbutus and Garry Oak, eagles, driftwood and breath taking views of the strait. The views are so breath taking that many just go down to the park for pictures and to get alittle excersise. There is no cost to parking at the park and if you want to travel by bus to this park you would have to take the number 2 bus to it. This place is truly one of the most wonderful places to see in Naniamo. Check it out.
