Reviews of Pipers Lagoon Park (Tourist Attraction)

T Smith

Wonderful place for a hike and lunch

Tammy Warkentine

Great for taking your dog for a short walk...but if you want to walk longer then you have to hike over a BIG HUGE rock. There are lots of park benches and water taps

ben wickham

Cool little place I found. Check it out.

Brian Lang

Great place to explore along the beach and rocky headland

Tom

Great place to get those far away shots of the main land.From here you can see the main land coast line for hundreds of kilometres.Climb up one of the two high points for a great view of the Salish Sea.I I over heard two young boys looking for the pirates fort,proceed with caution.

Kris Toijonen

Beautiful Views and ocean breeze.

Vero Villalva

Nice walk and views. Some easy trails if you want an easy relaxing walk or some rocky areas if you want to get adventurous.

Firoz Ozman

Beautiful beach. There's enough for a family to spend the whole day.

Steve Morin

Great place to go for a walk or a swim in the ocean nice trails nice views dogs allowed

Richard Kelly

Fantastic little park with lots to explore! You've got easy pathways to use, but also there's a lot of little trails that go off to neat little spots and involve a little bit of climbing sometimes. There's some great front row seats to watch the waves roll in as well!

Cheryl Redquest

Beautiful beach, trees, walk and great for a picnic.

Derek Bodner

Great afternoon adventures can be found...

Devon Cathers

One of my favourite parks.

Christian Paul

Great place for a walk and to watch the sea. Saw seagulls, seals and sea lions. Part of the park is only reachable with a bit of easy climbing.

Dave Lawrence

One of the most peaceful, beautiful spots on Vancouver island. Great beach for swimming, hike around. When I was a child Orcas even jumped out of the water and put on a show!

RJ Rees (RJ)

Love this place great for the dogs and kids. Hiking through the bluffs and beautiful arbutus trees is lovely any time of year rain or shine!

Sean Dooher

The forested peninsula that forms the Lagoon has a walking trail which follows the shoreline. Although it is less than 2 km in length the variety of terrain and the beautiful vistas it offers is well worth the short walk with grassy, cliffside areas perfectly suited for blanket picnics.

TrashCan Lid (TrashCanLid)

Super cool area to walk the beach, climb some rocks or just hang out in the tree house

Steph O'Connor

Beautiful park! Walking trail, picnic tables, bathrooms, garbage cans, area to wash sandy feet, great views!

Mike M

A favourite in town wilderness park. Tidal pools, grassy flat picnic area, and rock out-crops to climb. Enjoy on a sunny day the beautiful scenic Coastal mountain range!

Kate Dalton

I come here all the time and I love the scenery and the sounds of the ocean mixed with bird calls, I especially love it when it's really windy, the sunsets are amazing and the wildlife is abundant. I recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

Em von Euw

A magical place to share a hot chocolate with your beau, and enjoy the oceanscape.

Great views expensive real estate you feel the sensation of being one of the unwashed masses as the brisk sea breeze batters you about the nape and head as the currents of a plasticized dying sea languidly flows along the shore highly recommend!

Bryce Carnahan

Nice public beach. Has a few spots that are hidden , good for a picnic

Ally Churko

Beautiful Park to go and walk around at!!

Charlene Gates

Love this place in summer, so does the dog!

I love this park. It is well laid out and fairly expansive. There are tons of Arbutus trees and a nice section of beach to explore. The trail network is expansive and takes you all over the park.

Cristian Escobar Molina

Amazing views!

Dag Holmberg

Great little walk if you have some time to spare out in Nanaimo. Sidenote: The trail can be a bit slippery when wet so watch your footing.

Showcases the westcoast. Hilly in areas, not for the disabled.

Derek Price

Great little adventure minutes away from downtown Nanaimo.

Daigan Misner (HerbNinja)

I visit here every trip to the island.

Mark Lewis

A lovely spot for a rugged, easy trail walk. A little climbing rocks might be in order for added fun. The trail is often narrow and uneven.

HaJug Kim

I liked the cool ocean breeze on my face. I wish there was more parking.

Sabina M.-Swan

Great place fir a stroll anytime.

Dan Morrissey

Great place to enjoy the water. Lots of hermit crabs. Trails to hike the isthmus

Cali Storch

Simply stunning views with awesome parking!

Ryan Roga

There is a nice sandy/rocky beach at it's East face as you walk into the park. At low tide there is a large area to the West that is great for kids to explore. Lots of crawly creatures and tide pools to discover. The hiking trails are rocky, be sure to watch your footing and wear appropriate footwear. The waters can feel rather warm on a sunny day and make for a great family spot. I'd recommend checking it out if you're visiting Nanaimo.

Reid Johnston

Perfect place to sit and watch the waves in the winter. Great for swimming in the summer

Reneth Sanchez

went swimming here2019

Jazzy Pearl

Fun little trails! Lots of people swimming aswell!

Yvette A

Beautiful walk along the pathways here.

Selina Ponsford

Stunning views, beautiful trails and wildlife. Great place to take photographs

Lucky to live close to this special place. Be ready to climb on rocks a bit. Or over a few logs on the long beach

Lianne Burgess

Very peaceful

martin powell

Very nice beach for sunrise and sunsets

SEAN

Nice beach park for swimming and walks.

Marina Kreimer

Great park to watch sunset!

Don Mackay

Excellent hiking and blustery weather.

Shawn Markey

Both an excellent marine and foreshore interaction area and a reminder of how poorly we have treated some of our neighbors...

Kyle Spratley

Nice little walk out on the coast of the ocean.

Cheryl Ashby

Even in an early spring drizzle it was lovely.

Erik Wright

If you're looking to explore one of Nanaimo's lesser known parks, Pipers Lagoon is the place to go. Walking the spit that encloses the lagoon gives you access to the 20 minute walking trails around the headland, if you're brave enough to clamber over the small rock bluff during high tide. Arrive during low tide however, and you can dance over the shells on the beach and to access the trails. Often you'll see wind surfers on a blustery day using the protected lagoon as a practice area and it makes for some excellent photography opportunities.

Jim drums

Lots of room even when the Car park is crowded

Shirley Perry

A great place to walk along the waterfront and enjoy all of creation

Nick Louie

Excellent scenery. Just very windy

Laurel Bliss

Always a nice walk when its beautiful out

mary brown

Such a gorgeous park!

Marius Serban

Very nice rocky trail with amazing rocky cliff views

D K

Always a nice walk. Plenty of different terrain. Forest, beaches, cliffs. Nice place for a quick (1hr or so) hike or spend all day. There are picnic tables and washrooms. Good parking. And a fresh water shower to rinse off after swimming in the ocean (not private shower)

Daniel Clouda (ensigngonnadie)

Severely overcrowded, no chance to social distance. There were almost a dozen out of province license plates, go home people. Had an ok time once my family was finally able to get away from others for a few minutes.

Dan Varnus

It's the best. Don't go here, I like the privacy.

Casey Marlowe

Best picnic spot!

Jeremy Wick

Beautiful and very nice to see the ocean birds

Daniel Murphy

If you are in Nanaimo for a day or two, stop here. The sunrise is just beautiful. Good washrooms. Shower to rinse off if you go for a swim.

Flo Corbett

Gorgeous place, amazing scenery

Susan G

Beautiful scenery.. calming area.. abit windy tho

Simon P

Nice park, but difficult to walk through, and the views at nearby neck point are better

Jansait Qughondouqa

Beautiful. Spacious. Great for meditation and yoga. Wheelchair and strollers are tough to walk on the stones but if a jogger maybe it’s fine. I didn’t see a playground so kids need their imagination and legs to run there which I totally recommend.

J C

Go to the high beach on the hill , stop and wait for the sea lion swim pass by …

Erica Bakewell

One of the best ocean front walks in Nanaimo.

A Nelson

Great walking park. Well kept trails . Its a lovely walk along the ocean .

Fennya Numeria

Great spot to walk along the spit or beach and if you're able, scramble up and over the rocks to get to the other half of the park that has a easy trail that circles the point with excellent views all around. When the herring run there might be the occasional sighting of orcas and definitely sea lions. A popular spot so don't expect a private, secluded walk. An excellent swimming beach and a grassy area to picnic. And every time I've used them, very clean flush toilets.

crystal Prest (fallen angel)

Peaceful

Jennifer Gojevic

Beautiful beach good walk when tide is out but don't get caught out there. When it starts coming in the tide comes in quickly.

richard mckenster

Social distance respected beach. Gorgeous blue sea and sky too.

Stacey Galbraith

One of my favourite places to take my dog for a walk.

YesNoMaybeSometimes

Beautiful ocean spit. Accessible semi wild beach

James Holland

Stunning local park. Amazing sunrise/sunset views. Rugged areas , part of trail is easy walking.

Alicia Mogg

Pipers Lagoon Park is by far my favourite outdoor park destination in the Nanaimo region. It is the most beautiful outdoor spot where I love to do nature and landscape photography, with the best layout and features of any waterfront park I've seen yet. There is a lovely causeway that takes you out to the main body of the park. The beach along this causeway has many attractive spots that are perfect for practising landscape and nature portraiture. There is plenty of parking. Many people walk their dogs along the causeway. It is minutes away from the equally lovely Neck Point Park.

RG whatup

Lovely place for a walk. Its a good place to relax and just enjoy nature and water. The pathways are well maintained and a lot of benches to sit and just take all in. The parking is very spacious and easy. Getting there can be a little hard due to the narrow streets. But all in all a good place to take a walk.

Alan Christensen

Great place to hike the shoreline rocks and trails. Lots of parking including public washrooms. Pack your lunch and drinks. Sit and observe the boats fishing plus the ferries and Comercial vessels. See seals even Orca whales. Plus get the value of exercise climbing the rocks and cliffs of Pipers Lagoon Park. Large open grass field to fly your kite or drone.

Anirudh Varma

Absolutely stunning views of the ocean. The park has a rocky beach which is picturesque in its own way. A good place to read a book or spend some time in your own thoughts.

Sunny Vee

This place is drop dead gorgeous! When I say you don't need a filter or photo editor on your photos, I really mean it. We went on a windy and slightly sunny day with some overcast and the ocean was roaring, the beach was amazing and the lagoon had low tide and we got to see all the lil critters! ????????

John Kloppenburg

A beautiful place to go for a walk and look at nature

Austin

The area around here was nice. There want a lot of people around as we visited during lunch time so it was quiet. This place has a lot of locations that you could take photos of just scenery or of yourself. However navigating the trail is a little confusing as we had to scale a rock in order to continue.

Garry Mchady

Always a great spot to people watch and relax at the end of a busy day.

Mukelabai Nasitwitwi

Awesome view of the ocean. Nice dog walking park area. Small rock climbing to a nice view point.

Bruce Gray

Fabulous mini hike along a Gary Oak lined oceanfront trail. Not hard but tricky footing over rocks and roots.

Chris Istace

My favourite seaside park in Nanaimo. From hot sunny days relaxing on the beach and building driftwood forts to exploring the rocky island like outcroppings. …

Annj Alexander

Gorgeous park with a lagoon on one side and the ocean with mountain views on the other. No dogs allowed on the beach in the summer months, unfortunately. Ample parking and not crowded at all. The lagoon is calm and nice for a dip. Perfect for photographers!

Mikhail Ivanov

One of the best parks in the city

Julie B

Nice neighborhood beach. Lots of garbage on the beach the day I was there, so I started picking it up. Shack Island is still there.

Simon Trigona

Nice little park on the water.

Egirl Kalamanani

Nice small beach with sandy area on one side and rocky easy walk around to the other side. I love how shallow and warm the water was at low tide. Nice shade trees and big logs to sit on. Water is so clear almost like in Hawaii. Gentle waves.

S

Absolutely beautiful , but I wish their were more off-leash options in Nanaimo for dogs. The walkway is on-leash only and the beachfront is off-limits 1/2 the year

Matthew

Best park in the city of Nanaimo.

Daphne Rayner

Great walking/ climbing and when tide low you can see Star fish/ crabs/ clams in the sand/ shells / oysters. Clime Oak trees/ cliff views.

rosy k

Calmer waters, brave the cold water for a dip, swim in the salmon filled area.

Brian

wonderful park near the ocean Take the bus number 20 from Downtown, walking is a bit tricky as there are not any sidewalks as you get closer

Jeremy Loewen

Beautiful walk with varied terrain

Rob Nemlander

What's not to like about beaches, trees, trails, and the ocean? This is a great place to recharge right within city limits.

Faisal s

This was 2nd best Park I ever been to, Just wow

Frances Billones

Beautiful place and a really pleasant hike.

Andrew Cripps

Hugely popular park but and a great place to bring children as there are rock outcroppings for a scramble, the beach, the lagoon and ferry activity to engage. For a picnic there are plenty of benches and nooks and crannies.

Spencer Strand

A great spot to see some little critters and anemones if you don't walk to fast !

Deborah Donnelly

So peaceful! The smell of the ocean is extraordinary! Beautiful kept trails as well

Wayne

Beautiful beach for a walk on a warm summer day

Love this spot

Tim Cavey

Gorgeous location. Beautiful spot to spend reading on a sunny summer afternoon.

RespectivelyMe

Not always the most clean but one of the best easy to get to views in Nanaimo, small woods and rocket cliff over the ocean make for romantic or peaceful walks with friends. A must visit for Nanaimo for those who live here or are visiting

marin paul

If you love the outdoors you will love this lagoon

Sara s

Beautiful. High tide. Clean water. Low traffic and no crowds. Sand and rocky beaches. Great family spot.

Jim Holland

Beautiful views. On a low enough tide one can wander out to shack island. Lots of wildlife from nesting geese to sealions if you get lucky and time it right. A must see in may.

Amanda Key

Beautiful little beach with easy parking,and picnic tables.

Cara Denney

Place is nice for walking and beach exploration or sitting in the sun . There is public bathrooms and public shower for cleaning off after the water . Only problem is not enough parking at all.

Md Rezaul Karim Robin

Beautiful place with little hikes and trail walking.

Vivek Kumar

Excellent views, but neck point park is better if you have time to visit just one

Oliver Munroe

Pipers Lagoon is a magical spot right on the ocean nestled amongst forest trees, you will hear birds chirping and see beautiful flowers in bloom, their smell is refreshing! The view out into the Georgia Straight is breathtaking, you can climb the easy hills to the top and watch sailboats drift by on a gentle wind. A few great spots for picnics here!

Louis Plante

very quiet

Christina Young

Great place to walk and enjoy the ocean

Paula

Beautiful place! Highly recommended

Birthing Nourished Parents

Epic views and so clean

Jonah Ferguson

Great beach, with lots of rocky crags to climb around on. Wear good shoes though, as to get to the island with the forest and the circular trail, you will need to climb over a rocky outcrop. Shack Island can also be reached from here at very low tide.

ThirstySpirit RoastHouse

Beautiful slice of nature! Great place to unwind!

Dax Brown

Relaxing walk, good scenery

Mel B

Great place for a walk

Irene Harford

Stunning beach and great walking trail

Jason Li

Easy and short walk. Beautiful view but the water is not quite suitable for swim.

Laara Yardley

Not a very long walk, unless you scramble over a mountain of rock and extend your walk alongside the lagoon. A trail climbs to a superb viewpoint at the end of the short walk. Up here there are a couple of benches and Gary Oak trees.

Daily Natural Living

It's amazing you have to check it our for yourself

Amber Hendley

Beautiful walk, you do have to climb some rocks unless the tide is way out. It's been windy everytime I've walked it but that's being next to the ocean : )

Lovely walk and nice beach

T Legault

One of my favorite places, i grew up comming here over the years. Since moving away from Nanaimo when i come to visit i always come here for a walk.The best sunrises in Nanaimo!!

Darren Kirby

A beautiful spot to visit at anytime, but it is particularly good when the tide is rising so you can watch the Lagoon fill in. The trails system is not extensive , you could walk around quite quickly if you wanted but it is nicer to move slowly and watch the birds and sea life. Very nice views of the Salish Sea and the mainland.

Chris Dillabough

Great location. Especially at sunset. Maintained well.

Kendra Slawson

Beautiful place to sit, walk or just watch the beautiful Ocean. Lots of nooks & crannies to explore. Even more when the tide is out.

Anjith Jayaraj

Nice beach to swim and relax. Well maintained benches and trails.

Layne Goldsmith

A beautiful, popular spot to come & relax & enjoy the ocean & sunshine.

Kamalpreet Saini

Gorgeous park with ocean and mountains view. Low traffic ad less crowds.

Garry Wall

Very nice. Short walk

Chris Martin Personal Real Estate Corporation

An easy hike with great views across the Salish Sea (Georgia Strait) to the coastal mountains. A Nanaimo favourite!

Andy Lai

Great secluded spot for some peace and quiet. Make sure you wear shoes or boots if you want to climb up the lagoon as those rocks are sharp.

Denny Lajeunesse

Great place. Just wish they had a walk way for when the tide is in so people could get to the end without climbing the rocks. Not easy for Ankit if folks.

Richard Jamieson

Arguably the best views and marine experience in a public park in North Nanaimo area.

wayde johnston

Great place to get away in Nanaimo. Several well placed benches with private views. Places to just relax and read a good book.

Kenley Schmitz

Love searching for sea glass ????

Ron Lychak

Nice on a sunny day too bad it's not a Sandy Beach

Mohamed Mohamedy

Nature all over BC is just wonderful

Vigan Aliu

Such a good place to walk and enjoy nature. There are plenty of spots for parking. We left the car and walked this beautiful place. This and Neck Road Park are so peaceful and beautiful. You can walk in lagoon but there is also a path where …

Adam Lower

Great little park with a great view of the lagoon and ocean.

Miguel Montana

Beautiful rocky beach and a little forest.

Brent

Awesome spot. Lots of rocks to climb, beach to discover and wooded area to explore.

Carolyn Soucie

This is and Neck Point Park are great seaside parks. Pipers has a beautiful beach thats good for swimming, she'll and rock collecting. Also a good place to look for hidden painted rocks. Dogs are not permitted on the beach but are permitted on the foot path on leash. Long narrow path takes you to the point with rocks to scramble up and there is a mini secluded beach between two bluffs. Often very windy but makes it a great place to fly a kite. A couple of picnic tables and grassed section right next to parking lot and washrooms.

Gerry Bates

A wonderful marine park. Logs on sandy beach to sit on and enjoy the view.

John Ross

Very good place to relax

Jared Bayley

This park is beautiful! You can see so many things from the beach, like Gabriola Island and the mountains of Vancouver and the mainland in the distance. You can also see BC Ferries vessels passing by, on their way between Duke Point and Tsawwassen, and Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay. In addition, you can go and explore a small island separated from the main land. It really is a serene, spectacular area. I highly recommend checking it out!

Jasmin Descent

Best place to wait for your late ferry!

Laura Gill

Love this local beach. Nice walks and beautiful scenery.

Jose Soriano

Very nice little place, gorgeous views, nice walk

Veronica Szick

Certainly one of the martial highlights of Nanaimo.

Chloe Johnson

Nice little place for a walk, very windy in the fall so dress warm!

Stephen Neate

Piper's Lagoon is quieter than Neck Point and less wheelchair accessible. The trails get more rugged but they aren't any longer than those of Neck Point. This area is fun on a sunny or stormy day.

Jareth Godecke

Wonderful family park, full of spectacular views and wild life.

Erik H

Great place in the summer time, not so much in the winter

Checked out Piper Lagoon for the first time today. Although it was windy and slightly rainy, the park was a great place to explore! It had a good amount of parking, beautiful views. Would love to check it out again in the summer.

Val Chuy

Would Love to live by the water here

Ethan Stephenson

I love this place great for swimming!????

Elizabeth Hodi

Piper's Lagoon is a short walk along the beach for a day when you crave the salty air but need to give your legs a break. It gets busy on the weekends but is a fantastic place early morning to catch the sunrise ????

WestCoastWomanPower Alexis Taylor Middleton

Ample parking with easy walking to enjoy absolutely fabulous photos of nature in her glory with ocean breezes and benches along the walkway

Terry Ireland

Always nice.

SonjaG Anaskan

Luv this walk good area to go.

morgan hill

Not too crowded. A short path with great views. Lots of different nooks and crannies for people to hang out in.

Agia Doering

It's a beautiful place to walk, and enjoy the ocean!

Sam SmorCington

The smoke from the wildfire in the states wafted over to the shores of Nanaimo, masking the plumes of my blueberry kush for hours on end. Only me and the birds getting high on this peaceful plateau of inebriation. Bliss.

Christine Rollings

Beautiful park, amazing views, and perfect place to walk and explore. Bathrooms available as well :)

Sarah JD

Loved this beach! Nice walk and hike! Lots of rocks to climb over--if you want! Very beautiful and peaceful.

Adam Holt

Great place lots of room, good for swimming or exploring, lots of parking space and washrooms.

Chris Desautels

Good trail, lots of views. Not wheel chair accessible unfortunately.

Liam Steele

Nice walk.

Jason S

One of the best local beaches in Nanaimo for a long walk along the shore.

Larisa Sviridova

What a fantastic place! Absolutely breathtaking views. The park itself is rather small. If you like long walks and safe trails, you might be disappointed. If you feel like walking the shore or even climbing some rocks - this place is for you. Unique photo opportunities. There is a public washroom and a parking lot. Depending on the time of the day, the parking might be full.

Addison Ivy Park

Beautiful place to go and watch the sunset and sunrise

Jay Sean

One of the coolest places in the area. Imagine a line where two beach shores meet and form a trail to walk across with beaches on both sides! That's what this is! Beautiful views all the way off into the horizon or into the city. Take your pic! Once walking down a ways, maybe 8 minutes at a casual pace, you'll see rocks which you can traverse over and up to see even more options with more beaches in every direction! It's so surreal. It's a very special place Nanaimo is blessed to have it. One of the coolest places I've been too and a reason I fell in love with Nanaimo.

Jenn M

I love visiting Piper's whenever I come over to the Island. A nice stroll to the rocks or just park up and walk to the beach. Nice and peaceful.

Giselle Jakobs

Gorgeous views, easy access to ocean. Beautiful little hike. Kids love it.

amental shin

Here is peaceful place. But there is not water in the lagoon. We went to there in May.

Jon Galliazzo

One of the most beautiful places in Nanaimo! great for swimming, exploring, hiking and finding hidden treasures.

Beautiful views from the beach.

Very very nice

Kelly Pettit

When friends of mine come in from out of country or out of town, I always bring them to 2 places guaranteed. 1 of them is always Pipers Lagoon and the other is Neck Point. I love them both equally. Perhaps Pipers is the shorter walk of the two but there is one section that you have to do a tiny climb. It's nothing difficult unless you have a disability of sorts. But even before that small climb starts, there is a nice smooth path with breathtaking views of the ocean and islands. We saw Orcas there last time. If you're visiting Nanaimo, it's conveniently close and very picturesque. A must really.

Robert Guiboche

Excellent place to take your family your wife to have a good little picnic right along the ocean nice and clean washrooms very nice and clean very nice environment.. I recommended for families and loved ones even your first date

Pipers is a beautiful spot for a walk on the beach, have a family picnic, or watch the sunset. There is also a nice grassy area for bocce or croquet. Washrooms are available. Parking is a bit limited at busy times.

Very peaceful and relaxing.

Peak 9179

An amazing park and beach in Nanaimo. We love visiting any season, even in winter. Incredible views, can watch the ferries and other boats go by.

Kyle Campbell

I love this place, there's little trails all over the park, and if you catch the park at low tide, there's tons of beach areas to explore!

HomeDad

Its a beautiful place! Love it every time.

David J. Laporte

Gets negatively compared to nearby Neck point park too often. Nanaimoites are spoiled for oceanfront parks within the city????

neethi diana

Chris Steele

Great place to spend the morning exploring with young kids.

romes aqueno

Nice place to stop by if you're in Nanaimo, ten minute drive from the shopping plaza, you drive through residential. There are speed bumps on the way there, but there is a nice walk through the trail onto big rocks, and other parts to a beach. Tell you're friends.

Ezmie Bouchard

Lovely trail along a rocky beach. You can find starfish, crabs, sand dollars and anenomies in the rocks. It is an easy trail with a beautiful view. Dog and kid friendly.

A Khan

Nice and open view of the water!! Good for a walk or to just relax. This time of the year was a bit cold but summer would be better.

Genna Kules

Beautiful lagoon. Lots of trees and different views of the water.

Barrett Nash

I've been going a few times a year since I was a kid, and when I have kids they'll be going a few times a year. It's a special place where you can really feel the salt air, probably my favourite Nanaimo city park. Note, it can be a bit of a work out. Note 2, it's a great place for a date.

Dave Hart

Great ocean views & walks around lagoon.

Kelsey Stenson

So beautiful. Love this place

Ryan Groth

Nice place for a birthday party!

Eric Mills

One of the most beautiful places on Vancouver Island

Viraat BK Thammanna

Very nice lagoon park in Nanaimo waterline. Access through Hammond bay road -Lagoon road - Place road. There is enough free parking. Very relaxing area if you have easy 2 hours. Nice beach with logs and benches to sit. Can view nice partial sunset during evening hours. There are two lands worth walking on both. Please be cautious while climbing on rocky surface to the second hill. Use extreme caution walking along cliffs as one can easy fall to into sea. Don't try to cross to Weatcroft park during low tides unless it is coompletely dry as the strength of current is hard to judge. Please avoid feeding wild birds and animals.

Jim Scott aka Dick Brook

This is a great place for walking, but you have to climb over a roughly 6M high rock hill so wear appropriate shoes. Once you get over, it is so worth it! Even if you don't clamber over the hill, just the walk to it and back is wonderful. Dogs must be on leash and are not allowed on the beach from May to September

Lisa Corlett

Gorgeous (short) walk. Great ocean swimming, but gets deep pretty quick. WINDY

Patrick Harness

Heat place to take in the scenery of the gulf and the mainland on a clear day..

Never been here? Thinking of going? Just do it. Now. It is incredible here! The views are truly stunning. Parking, washrooms, dog friendly, beaches, hiking. The best past is that it is so close, so you really don't have to go far to experience nature at its best.

Tim Mcgrath

A great place to learn and experience the intertidal zone.

Dawn Diamond

Love Pipers Lagoon so peaceful especially when the tide is out.

D Lewis

Tide was coming in and the water was flowing swift, Canadian Geese using the water ways like moving sidewalks. Picturesque.

Wes Fawcett

Pleasant, mild to moderate trail.

Beautiful, easy walk. We were there at low tide so walked around to the furthest bluff, up the hill and to the point overlooking some amazing vistas.

Very relaxing and enjoyable recreational area

Heather Smeltzer

Great spot for a walk along the beach

Saquib A

Beautiful place. You can see some sea lions even during afternoon.

Ray Firby

Limited trail, parking lot and washroom, should be good spot for bird and wildlife...

Beautiful spot for a walk and a swim. You could also potentially do some good snorkeling around here as there seems to be lots of little critters in the water just off the rocks. Also it is rocky do bring water shoes.

Dave Saechao

Beautiful place to spend the day

Rocky Beach, but much quieter than other lake side beaches. Bring umbrellas, you will need shade. No washroom amenities.

Sara Cooper

nice. if you go at low tide you don't have to climb the rock. there's eagles nesting, lilies and such.

Lynda Bennett

Good food, sat outside in the sun and appreciated the friendly, COVID safe service.

Lee Waddell

One of our favorite stops when we get to the island.

Janet Robertson

A favourite seashore park Nanaimoites spend time walking at to contemplate the ocean views, walk their dogs, do yoga, launch kayaks, or picnic! There is an adjacent island that is accessible at low tide, (or high tide if you can climb over a high rock face), with various paths that wind thru ancient Arbutus trees and unspoilt forest with views of the Salish Sea. The bylaws allows dogs on the rock beach in off season (Oct - May) which is perfect for throwing a stick for water loving dogs. Parking is on site.

Ian Lewis

Love going dor a walk or kite with my daughter here, she quite enjoys it too!

Smiling Back at ya

Amazing view and great spot to relax in the sun.

Roberta Giampaolo Guimaraes

I love Pipers Lagoon Park ???? Beautiful beach, little hike in the forest with a great view and if you are lucky enough, you can see some wild animals like the sealions very close! One of my favorite places in Nanaimo

Mark Smith

The scenery is just beautiful

Jason Yee

Pipers Lagoon Park is a great place to relax for all ages! The lagoon is protected from the strong waves, allowing children to swim and play to their heart's content. It's also large enough that you could kayak or paddle board in it. In the other side of the lagoon is a beach laden with pebbles and sand, great for beach party, picnic, bbq, and easy access for a quick dip in the water. The water line is maybe 10-20 meters from the trail which is between the lagoon and the beach. It's also a long Beach so feel free to spread out! There's plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Look out into horizon and watch the ferries, the cruise liners, the float planes, and the mountain peaks all in the distance. Go for a walk if you want to as well! When you're done, feel free to rinse your legs off with the public rinsing faucets then hop into your car! Medium sized parking lot that can accommodate most general crowds (likely too small to accommodate the summer holiday crowds).

John Melan

Awesome place to take a walk by yourself or with someone else. Pet friendly and so beautiful.

Edward Gibson

Said It was dog friendly when it's not

David Wende

Lots of views, good for a short walk. It can get quite busy.

Ellie Smith

Beautiful park! Also quiet a few Pokemon go stops and gyms!

Alexandra Mackinnon

Nature walks are wonderful

Cassidy Stock

One of my fave places to walk

Tiffany Vitez

Really beautiful trail with a variety of views. The lagoon itself is not always full, but all you have to do is look to the right to see endless ocean. This trail does require some climbing over rocky mounds, but is still a fairly easy trail. For those with young kids, the lagoon when empty can be fun to explore, just make sure to bring rubber boots! On the other side is a small black (depending on tide levels) that is a lovely walk as well. On the far end of the trail the view looks out to another stretch of land that look to have fisherman homes. Be sure to bring umbrellas because weather can change in an instant!

Marcel Beaudry

One of the best parks in Nanaimo.

Kari White

Be prepared for climbing. Beautiful views, saw a few pods of seals last visit.

Chance got to experience his first time at the beach!

Sabrina LL

Beautiful easy walkabout

Mike Oliver

Most beautiful spot in Nanaimo. Right at water level. Climb up onto the higher ground for a great view.

John Curran

Another little gem in Nanaimo. Great for a walk or run. If you want to explore the total trail then a little bit of rock scramble

Lynne Johnson Mallari

Wonderful trails suitable for an easy walk or with kids. The lagoon and beach are both beautiful and dogs are allowed on leash

Brent Booth

Great hike around the island, go over the rocks to see the other side.

Leslie Simpson

Love the rock climbing..

James Nealy

This is the perfect spot to go have a relaxing or adventurous day with the family and friends. Also, a lot of good private spots if you want to take that special someone and....well be alone????

NoGary

This spot is a gem; geologically, biologically, cultural gem.

Tymithy D

Nice Park!

Ernie Toews

The scenery is great, love the Gary Oaks had a wonderful time with my daughter. Wish there was a easier way to explore more, when the tide is not very low.

Julian Simpson

Short hike but lots of elevations. Views across the Salish sea are amazing.

Lucy Francisco

Great views!

Casey Glennie

Cool place lots of people. Really nice for pictures. Kinda short for walking but great if you just wanna go for 30 min

Beautiful place

Sea glass...lots

Paul Solowoniuk

One of Nanaimos most beautiful spots ! Sunsets here never disappoint!

A really great park for beaches, hiking, kites, swimming. Smaller sized parking lot, it can get busy.

Tyson Moerike

Not much to it but the ocean makes it beautiful

Heather Walker

Everyone goes to Piper's Lagoon - its a Nanaimo landmark. Easy walk around with the lagoon on one side and the ocean on the other. Bring good shoes for going up the rocky area you have to climb both up and down to access most of the trail. At low tide you can also cross over to Shack Island and its old Japanese fishing camp. Piper's is a great place to spend an hour or two.

Catherine Deutscher

There is always lots of nature to see here. This little hummingbird let me get very close!

Ashley “Nourash” T

Beautiful place. It’s a short walk and relatively easy for anyone. Shack island is very unique, and the beach/lagoon is a pretty site. A little windy at times, but a short and sweet attraction with various picturesque qualities!

Elvane Islami

Beautiful beach and sunset!

Rob Maks

Great family adventure walk/hike.

Mark Doctoroff

A Very Highly rated Attraction. This more compact Park (than its "neighbour") highlights the "ground level" view of the Page Lagoon [with its tidal flows]... as well as the Oceanside features including the pebble beaches, huge driftwood logs, places to sit and "experience"/enjoy the wildlife [birds and Marine Mammals] as well as the ships and Ferries departing from Nanaimo's busy Port. The comfortable benches allow one to take the time to absorb the many outstanding Natural features. If one is at the Lagoon at "low tide" one can walk from one side of the lagoon to the other (but be careful and make sure that you know when the tide changes!! This Park is very highly rated (by travellers like us) and has been awarded TripAdvisor's "Certificate of Merit". While visiting Neck Point Park.. it can be easily reached. I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Nicholette Devenney

Beautiful. Not too busy. Not alot for sea creatures though.

Patsy Clark

A beautiful place for a walk !

Earle TenHave

Great hike great views

Wonderful beach spot for the family

Buddenhagen Jeremy

Great short walk with some rocks and beach, would be fun to explore around with a kayak or canoe

Good place to go for a walk

Beautiful park nice walking trail around the lagoon. Dogs welcome on leash

Dennis G

Great little hike.... Hold on to little ones!

Faye B.

Great little spot to breath some ocean air and do a little walk along the ocean and through the trees! You would never know you were in the middle of Nanaimo :) outside showers too!
