Reviews of Neck Point Park (Zoo)

Lars Mjaaland

Best place to enjoy a sunrise or sunset.

Lanaea Gonzales

Neck Point Park is such an amazing location if you want ocean views, a great walk and a relaxing afternoon by the water. The trails are accessible and go for quite a while. I would recommend!!

Tammy Warkentine

Fantastic views of the ocean and great trails...even an 80 year old man was able to walk the simple trails with his cane and a hand, plus there are the stairs to the fantastic views or the little trails through the rocky steps to closer action to the edge

Dinesh Bohra

Neck Point Park trail are easy to walk. Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a beach shores

ben wickham

Real good vibes

paigemossey

Had a great time walking around the park looking at the shore and the beautiful nature

Wayde Johnston

One of the best walking parks in Nanaimo. Seal in the late winter chasing large schools of food fish, spring for the Eagles. Summer for the light breeze to cool you down. Bring the dog and join the rest for a great walk.

Adam Langiewicz

Really beautiful park & area in general. Tons of little spots to sit down and enjoy the water in peace. Good walking trail that takes your around the entire point, with some nice information / history placard to tell you about native wildfire, flora, and the surrounding mountains. Definitely worth a visit!

Halina J. Beaulieu

Nice paths, great views, beautiful spot. Loved it.

Everett Dahling

Amazing views and time :)

Richard George

Very nice walk

Richard Kelly

Always one of my favourite spots to go in Nanaimo. It's so close to everything in town, yet once you're out there, you feel free from all the noise of the city and you can truly relax and enjoy nature. Even if it's for 15 minutes in a day. Definitely worth your time to check out. #ExploreNanaimo

Jonas Rey

Beautiful Park! We saw a very nice sunset, it was the beginning of June.

Cheryl Redquest

This park is a Nanaimo treasure..

Richard Wise

Great place to walk dogs or stroll by the ocean.

Phillip Heyes

Scenic costal park in the city, not much boat or float plane noise. Some times it can get a bit dirty here because of how accessable it is. Please be mindful and pick up after yourself.

Derek Bodner

Fantastic place...real nice views and great path systems..

Tristan Wentz

i go to Nanaimo every summer and i always find myself back at that beach. i find lots of sea stars, snakes, mollusks, sea glass, and really nice rocks. i also really like the walk around you can do, it never gets old

Dave Lawrence

It’s a very nice walk, great views of the ocean. Not my favourite park in town hardly go really.

Brett Hanna

Gorgeous, short walk (40 min), well taken care of path and nice new steps to traverse any hills

RJ Rees (RJ)

Beauty place to walk your dog or your husband lol. Fresh ocean air and lovely scenery

Diane Babcock

Neck Point Park has an amazing stretch of oceanic viewscape & several pathways, which is why it is the top place I chose to take my friend for his first visit to Nanaimo. Plus, it's a fantastic place to play with the zoom feature on my camera.

Kate Dalton

The place is beautiful with it's rock formations and it's ocean views, it's the perfect place for photography so I often take lots of photos here. Lots of trails to explore and lots of wildlife to observe.

Lisa The Star

Really beautiful trails there

Em von Euw

One of my favourite parks in the area. Always have a wonderful time. Lots of trails to walk on, beautiful water front access, places to picnic... We have seen mink along the beach before, and once saw a beached sea lion! Unforgettable. The caretakers house is now demolished. Outhouse in the parking lot.

Gigi Ricarse

A must see when in Nanaimo! Best view of the coast, beach and islands.

Särä Lëë

Amazing walk! Awesome scenery. A great place for rockhounding.

Gary Phillips

Excellent park - clean, and good trails - bring a camera!

Mike Wilson

Awesome park. Amazing views. Tons of Pokestops Can't wait to visit again in the summer and hi swimming.

Elaine Brown

Beautiful park which includes a scenic walk along the ocean waterfront and through the forest. The trail has periods where it is steep, rocky and has stairs, however there are alternate routes and we saw many people with strollers. Along the path are educational signs about the history of the park and it's ecosystems. Many people leave the path to walk along the beach and clamour over the rocks and explore the tidal pools. The occasional strategically located park map would help newcomers navigate. Parking can be limited. Having discovered Neck Point we will be back frequently!

Bradley Harper

Beautiful park for a walk, or dropping in for a kayak. Parking is horrendous on the best of days and folks seem oblivious how to park without taking up 1.5 cars widths.

Nathan Quinsey

Lovely park with great trails!

Allan Lucero

Gorgeous.

Edward Yu

Panorama view of the Sunshine Coast

Fred Ligeti

Beautiful area but a bit crowded and bad bathroom facility.

Kate Denison

Really nice stop on the coast for an easy walk. Beautiful views and lots of rock pools :) bring sneakers if you want to scramble on the rocks.

Joanne Rosen

My daughter and my almost daughter got married here. It's beautiful!

fa fa

Nice park. Beautiful views. Lots of little crabs and shells for the little ones to beachcomb for fun. Could use better signage on entrance, parking, and beach access points. Don't park at parking lot right off the street, follow road in and there is a parking lot at the trail head with a picnic tables and a small beach.

Kevin “Island Angler” Miles

Nice park. Bit of a steep walk for some people.

Angie Holubowich

Cute park. Nice view. Great place to picnic.

Brent Hampton

Our daughter had her wedding ceremony at Neck Point Park, near the ocean. Such a beautiful setting. A little cold this time of year, but the sun was out and it wasn't terribly windy. Really loved the trails, too. The only thing is a lack of parking, which gets even more problematic when someone has a special event there, like, I don't know... a wedding?

Evan Barker

Neck point is a wonderful outdoor adventure close to home. There are a variety of pathways. Accessible to folks that require are on wheelchairs if you know what path to take. There are staired walkways throughout. We see people have small events like wedding ceremonies right on the waterfront. Such a gorgeous location for it if you like more of a natural setting.

Everett Horner

Beautiful views and a lovely walk along the waterfront.

Lisa Fehr

It is a wonderful park for bird watching, sea mammal watching and people watching. There are many trails both along the shore and through the woods. We always enjoy our visits????

Kat Crow

A lot to see and do here. Beaches, sea creatures, wild foxglove flowers growing out of rock walls. Take a day and explore.

Hans Bongarts

An easy walk with great views of the ocean...islands and sealife. Wonderful areas to just sit and think. Great place to take a dog for a walk but not considered an off leash area.

saptarshi mallick

Such a beautiful place with such amazing views. Even though you don't get to see the actual pacific but the views are as beautiful. This is my second visit with my wife and a couple of my friends and we definitely loved it to the fullest.

vickie gould

I love this park. Every time I come to Nanaimo I make sure to stop here, even if I am just driving through. Neck Point is a nice couple kms hike through a combination of platforms and walking trails. The first portion of the hiking trails are more like walking trails and are easy. The back half of the park is still an easy walk, but there are exposed roots and other obstacles

Kelsey Tyler

Absolutely gorgeous place to be. You must visit here. Lots of lovely beach areas. Beautiful walking/light hiking trails. Amazing views. Amazing cement pad for wedding ceremony etc.

Ryan Aubichon

Absolute gem! Incredible oceanside beauty, in the Nanaimo area. One of the best walking/oceanside parks you will EVER SEE!

Gerold Haukenfrers

Great walk through amazing forest and along the ocean. Lots of stairs along the well marked paths and wooden walkway.

A. T. Valdez

Scenic. But very sharp rocks and a very difficult trek into the ocean water: sharp rocks and unstable.

John Berger

I like capturing photos of the birds and geese there.

Mark Cameron

Neck point is my daily go to for walking my pup. Gorgeous trees, trails, and ocean. What else do you need???

mar ter kuile

The wild ocean and all the little elf doors at the bottoms of many trees.

J Pop

Beautiful and peaceful spot

Erin Sowerby Greene

Beautiful place!!! Stunning wildlife and coastlines. Lots of great and informative signage throughout the park. Highly recommend going at sunset in the summer! There may be orcas :) Keep an eye out for seals, river otters, pelagic cormorants and other beautiful critters. Starfish and anemones along the shore too

alanna fitzgerald

Nice walk, pretty easy. Accessible for all.

Joel Shears

Great local hike

Paige McLean

I visited this park every day that I was visiting Nanaimo. After the first time I learned to get there early as the parking lot isn't big and fills up quickly and my truck didn't fit in many spots once it was crowded. I read to park at the school but it was undergoing construction so that wasn't an option. Anyway, the views were amazing every time. I watched otters play in the water while I sat on the bench. I was lucky to spot a whale and unfortunately there was a washed up dead seal one morning. Tons of baby bunnies and a momma deer and her fawns greeted us one morning.

S.G. Warren

Nice views. Easy walk. A few stairs. Showcases the beauty of the coast.

Josie Vanderzee

Super views walking. Loved the little fairy doors on the trunks of trees in one area of the park.

Mark Lewis

This park has a little of everything... Several different types of vegetation and shore areas in a relatively small space. Low tide reveals even more to explore. Great views of the Sunshine Coast and assorted water fowl, as well as the odd eagle. An easy walk aside from some minor inclines. Cell reception can be poor to non-existent in certain areas including the limited parking lot.

Rosanna Norton

Gorgeous spot for a walk with the family while enjoying beautiful views.

charles bai

Beautiful park with rocky climbable cliffs and paths that offer a unique view of the coastline. Not sure if we were just lucky, but the place seemed teeming with wildlife, with interesting colored birds, butterflies, deer, and rabbits, really a must-see park if you're in the Nanaimo area.

Colleen May

Lovely little spot. Yes parking can be tight when it's busy. My heart sank when I saw the outhouse but kudos to those maintaining it. Very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the view while we had a picnic lunch.

il sun song

You can watch ocean's necklace..deadwood keep it alive.

Claudette Jim

Excellent trails and look outs

Reneth Sanchez

Summer 2018 with my bff Kikz jane. walk.selfi. and swim!!!????????‍♀️

Corey Rothwell

Great walking trail for all ages.

Excellent coastal walking trails, a few picnic tables, and a few neat little surprises as you go... the owls are a nice addition !

Dave Scott

Beautiful views Nice walking trails

Kyle Spratley

Very nice lots of trails and places to sit.

Erik Wright

Neck Point Park has been a local favorite for many years due to the many interwaeving trails and lookout points on the ocean. There is a grassy plateau overlooking the ocean perfect for wedding or portrait photography in good weather. Many people bring their dogs here to get some sunshine and explore the water.

jesse haze

Best time is to be there late at night

Ruan

Good park and beach,there are washrooms which is a good thing.

Brian Kates (Big B)

Beautiful park; it has a fairy village for the children to enjoy. And wonderful little coves for the seals to play in..

Jonas Breuhan

Beautiful park but fairly busy, limited parking.

Islanders Outdoor Maintenance

Great park with short trails. Trails are well groomed and easy access. Kids love the Doors in the Trees!

The Gigawolf (Newtype)

My favourite place in Nanaimo to go for walks. Very beautiful views and nature.

Bailey Beatrice

Loved it. The parking lot is not big enough to accomodate how popular it is so be prepared for that. It is super beautiful, lots of trails to choose from, Gnome houses, beach or forest. Just lovely. Really glad we came.

Heather-Celeste Phoenix

A great Little dive location never know wats gonna be there something nothing sharks sea bass jelly fish of all species.

Absolutely beautiful park. Many acres of walking trails. Enjoy the ocean views from lookout. Dog friendly. A lovely walk to be had..

Susan G

Relaxing with beautiful scenery

Matt Dalkie

Great park for some easy hiking, access for beachcombing and areas to scramble around the rocks. Some paths are accessible for strollers but some lookouts are stair access only. Look for the fairy grove with fairy doors and one is a "Leave a little, take a little" so bring a something for the fairies.

Chung Kim

Amazing place to just stare at waves crashing onto shoreline and cliffs ????

Louisa Farrell

Really beautiful walk with a fairy forest!

jordan turner

visited with my partner had a lovely stroll around the park, there are stairs on a few of the paths but there are many of the bays that can be visited just along level paths. beautiful location and great place to take the four legged friends

J C

Nice park, might see sea lion in the water. The water is colder there if you are planning to do diving or snorkeling,make sure you get full body gear …

Trent Morris

Beautiful spot to take in the stunning views of the straight and get some fresh air with the family.

Linda MacLean

Stunning park. Well marked trails so theres no chance of getting lost. Outhouses need more upkeep but amazing view of the mountains.

Stacey Galbraith

Great walking trail and lovely views of the water.

Dwayne N

Good sight seening area and beach

Lori Calvert

Beautiful place for a walk. Limited parking.

Jason Mikolas

Great place to walk the dog. Always lots of wild life. Harbour seals, Sea lions, and a heron on our walk today.

Alicia Mogg

Neck Point Park in Nanaimo is one of the nicest parks in the region. There are plenty of trails, waterfront landscapes and breathtaking panoramas to be seen. It is located off of Hammond Bay Road, just a few minutes away from the equally beautiful Piper's Lagoon Park and both parks can be easily traversed in one day. There is plenty of water, wind and sun buffed driftwood on the inner beaches, large and small, if you are into driftwood sculptures. It is just a nice place to relax and unwind.

Mack Whitford

Great place to go and gang out. Great for families.

Zoe Jean Grant

Unbelievable views ..there are several paths, so going again and again is a great adventure. The whole place changes depending on the time of day.

Brian Green

A gem of a park. Glaciated rocks and cliffs, great view. Easy trail system. Was there in a cold wet morning and parking lot was almost full. Must be pretty crowded in good weather. Driving in this area gives you a better appreciation of the scenery around Nanaimo. Worth the detour for a short road break when traveling up island.

Ben Altair

Clear trails, boardwalks and two beaches. Great for walking the dog or watching the sunset!

Northern Lucy

My favourite place in Nanaimo! Great place to take some pics and relax after a stressful day at work! Grab a coffee to keep you warm and go there to see the beautiful coast! If you are luck you can see sea lions or even whales! Fingers crossed...

Alison Jenkins

Beautiful and wild. We went on a windy day and it was perfect!

Mike Cloney

Epic views of the mountains on the mainland make this beach park a must see if you are a local or are visiting the island. Not too far from downtown and you get to see a beautiful part of Nanaimo. Lots of wildlife sightings as well on the short walk to the beach. Good place for kids to play around, a great place to walk the dogs or just to get out of the house. 5 stars for sure!!!

Amie Armet

Great variety of trails and views. Cute fairy door trail for kids and adults alike.

Andy Baird

Beautiful park right on the oceanfront. Loved the walk along well maintained paths with benches, beaches and elevated viewing platforms. This park also allows dogs and does have bag dispensers. We also found a cute tree cubby hole that visitors can leave or take trinkets. It's decorated like a little Keebler Elf door.

carrie link

Wonderful place to go for a walk the views are incredible

Sylvie Bart

Beautiful walking trails with wonderful views!

Heather Jones

Beautiful park with ocean views

Maggie Conners

Neck Point is a popular spot in Nanaimo for a reason! Normally busy but I can walk with my two children through the forest and relax a bit because they are occupied with what we call the "fairy houses" You can also leave a toy and take a toy. (I attached a photo) A lot of trail options and wildlife all around the area. I have seen black tailed deer, sea lions and many different birds. Watch your step on the rocks along the shore line though.

Hamed Mohammed

Nice and quite beach for nature lovers

Shweta Desai

Beautiful place that you need to keep walking to see how big it is. Each vantage point has something unique to look out to... keep more time if visiting this place .

Onz Man

Its an "out of the way" spot with many winding trails, most leading to nice little secluded water front spots. Great place to get out and explore the coast line.

Catherine Li

Very quite place to stay

Christy Thompson

Great park for a hike or walk. Lots of beach critters to see and a stroll through forests with faerie doors for the kids.

Christine-Rob Diett

Great spot for hiking.....get there early....limited parking

Heather G.

Really enjoyed the beautiful scenery especially Keel Cove. Great place for a walk rain or shine.

Great park.

LazyLayne “Lazy Layne”

Beautiful location, great for wedding photos, or any type of photos for that matter. Great place to just walk even. Love BC

Tiffany McLaughlin

This is a great park for people of all ages and fitness levels. Wide trails with no stairs for people with mobility issues and lots of stairs for people who can climb them. Beautiful scenery, beaches, and picnic tables for lunches.

Faisal s

One word, The best Park I ever ❤ been to in my life. My family was was just wow...

Dennis Frost

I often row to the park or kayak there with the kids. It is always full of a diverse group, dogs, old , young, photographers, bird watchers, joggers etc. If you are lucky you may get to see an orca from one of the viewing platforms. There are deer in the park too. You are almost guaranteed to see a seal or sea lion and many star fish at low tide. It is fun to walk out over the stoney beach to the little island at low tide. There are lots of logs on the beaches to play on. Be quite when in the forrest so as not to scare away the gnomes and fairies that live in the trees. There is also a bring one, take one door in one of the trees for the little ones. My boys used to love the gnome doors when they were little.

Spencer Strand

Amazing spot filled with divers and sea life !

Eben Pajanconi (ebspaj7)

Beautiful and clean park. The park is also close to the Nanaimo downtown. The park offers incredible water side views complete with easy to navigate walkways, picnic tables, a small beach, and a large parking area. Great place to bring friends, family, and even your pets. I would definitely recommend this park to anyone who visits Nanaimo.

Aarun James

Serene Beautiful and amazing locations.

lori felker

Great h8ke for all ages. There is wonderful fairy houses/door through put the woods to explore. Then you can go along the waters edge and see so much wild live. Highly recommend

Heidi S.

Easy trails with beautiful views. On-leash dogs are welcome!

Wilf Ratzburg

Easily my favourite park in Nanaimo. Most spots - and there are many - are accessible by persons with mobility issues. The beauty of the park is the many nooks and crannies (and beaches; 5 in total) that can be explored. A place to enjoy both cool forest trails and sunny beaches.

Adebayode Adele

The weather here is so mild and it's a great place to bring a date and go for a little walk along the water with impeccable views :)

Keith Lotzer

Love the Gnome/Fairy doors for my daughter to go knocking on.

Shannon Radwanski

Love this place ❤️ so many spots to explore and neat things to learn about! Always an enjoyable spot to take in the ocean!

Christine Yablonka

Beautiful park. Easy walking. Dog friendly folks everywhere.

Beverley Saindon

Beautiful at sunset❣️My photos attached came out beautiful, however, the real beauty is to see the sunsets in person. There is a good amount of parking; drive real slow going in, as it's 2 way & curvy, with families walking around. You can bring your dog, just be mindful & respect the wildlife that shows up on the paths. ❣️

Laura Simms

Great walk close to home... Usually spend an hour or so doing two laps. Always wildlife to see!

Keith Sheppard

Absolutely beautiful trails a d views.

Lovely walk. Beautiful view

Sheila Xie

Peaceful and wonderful park.

Beautiful point to walk around. Numerous trails. You can take a short walk or a long one. You can stay on the trails or explore the shoreline.

Faythe Wildeman

My sister has her wedding photos here and it is absolutely beautiful

Trevor Blasko

Was a windy and cool day but scenery was fantastic. Sea was rough as well.

Md Rezaul Karim Robin

Beautiful park. You can see the ocean from parking lot. But if you want some Magnificant view, you have to walk 5 mins inside ( left side road is heading inside the park). A must visit place while in Nanaimo!

Cyrus thie

Beautiful spot for a sunset walk and discover! A real gem of Nanaimo !

Ryan Hume

Great space to run around with the kids and check out the tide pools. Also a great spot to watch the sun go down. If you just want to be outside and spend some time this is a great place to go, and it is free:)

Camrynn Myronuk

Lived next to neck point for the first 14 years of my life, you never get tired of its trails and scenery. Gorgeous year round, and even on the nastiest of days, the shelter of the trees keep the paths mild. No matter if it's extremely busy or deserted, it's always a beautiful and serene place to be

Haley R.

A great place to wander and enjoy the ocean. Many routed for different mobility levels. Low tide reveals some pretty cool creatures!

TOYTUBE

An amazing place to go for a walk or sit and enjoy the beach. Our young son loves to find the fairy doors and exchange toys. The parking lot is often full and you need to park up near the school but the added little hike is well worth the views of walking thru the forest and ending up on a rocky west coast beach

Ian M

Too crowded with very many humdrum people here, especially kids and particularly during the summer. We need a eugenics approach

Jason

Beautiful parkway with gorgeous rocks and ocean views.

Jonah Ferguson

Beautiful park. Multiple beaches with different ocean views, as well as a boardwalk and several different types of terrain..

Ally Marie Temblor

Great view. Park needs/is under construction for improvement.

Chris Koehn

Very well kept trails with access to beaches and forest.

CellF CARE

We loved it!!!! The trails were do nice, friendly people and a beautiful place to watch the sunset

Wren Wilder

Great easy walk but super busy on weekends/ holidays. Fun little fairy homes for kids to look for and interact with. Good for families, but I'd avoid peak hours if you want some quiet nature time

Cynthia Jaytan

Beautiful trails, great for a picnic and able to bring stroller even with some stairs.

Seonhee Yoon

This park is awesome for walking and relaxing. I found own small spot for my time reading after walking which is really feeling good.

Irene Harford

One of my favourite places on the Island plus there are fairy doors????

Simply Beautiful, no matter how many times I go, it's like the first time.

Beautiful spot. Great for photography. Friendly local. Lots to do & see. Huge variety of wildlife (if you look!) ????????????????????????

B Moore

I love the island that you can walk to!!

Jaline K Tanne

One of my favorite parks on Vancouver Island for walking and scenery, great for walking dogs too.

Vancouver Ski Bum

This Park is one of the best in the area to visit. It has Lots of trails to explore with amazing views of the coastline. Thanks to a natural bridge the small island is accessible at almost any Tide level and fishing can be fun. Water is very clean and clear and swimming is nice. Park is clean and garbage free.

Jennifer Strachan

My favourite place.

Monique West

One of my favorite places in Nanaimo, especially for a jog. Gorgeous rocky, cliff-side, ocean views. Very serene and windy spot, a bit too rocky to lay out and tan though. Swimming is better right at the beginning/entrance where it's calm, the rest of it can have lots of waves and there's lots of rocky reef, so use caution.

T Legault

My favorite walk in Nanaimo. This is one of the most beautiful walks in Nanaimo. When i come to visit my kids insist we come here for a walk. I lived in Nanaimo for 23 years i took a lot of things for granted here, after being away i sure miss the beauty here.

Darren Kirby

Beautiful spot to walk around and Hike, go birding, or just sit and relax and enjoy the ocean.

Beautiful spot to take pictures also popular spot for swimming

Exchiela Benusic

One of my favorite parks in Nanaimo. Can catch some beautiful sunsets there.

Rude Boy

beautiful & serene short trails in a coastal neighborhood

Kent Caballero

Beautiful location for an hour stroll. You get up onto the rocks right by the ocean and the warm sun with the cold sea breeze is something you can't get anywhere else. I believe we saw some seals in the distance so that was another unique point of view. The fog from the water gives the best maritime atmosphere!

Kellie Dow

Beautiful trails and look out spots!

wayde johnston

Great place to see nature in the raw. Walk around twice for exercise. Or quite day watching the wildlife.

Inhyouk Jung

What is seen is not everything. I want you to go backyard. You can get a nice picture.

Sergey Levitskiy

Breathtaking views

Kyle

Nice place to stop while waiting for a ferry. Takes 30 min to 1 hour to walk the loop.

Helen T

Beautiful sunrise capture!

Parking close to the beach, wide ocean views, long and interesting walking trails, many benches to sit and relax in front of awesome ocean views

The most lovely resting place in Nanaimo

Beautiful park! Lots of trails to explore, and never a struggle for parking.

Srishti Singh

Brilliant place. The city of Nanaimo has gems scattered all over and Neck Point is simply precious. Whale watchers get lucky here during days with favourable tides!

Shirley Winter

Neck Point Park is picturesque! It is a comfortable walk that welcomes your participation in nature. It meanders on the edge of the ocean with rock outcrops. Magnificent!

joanne haberlin

Stopped off to kill time while waiting for the ferry and am super glad we did. Beautiful park! Small car park but I think there are others besides the one we used. Really well kept trails and gorgeous beach points!

Great views. A def must!

Stephen Sloot

Great storm watching spot and what a beautiful full moon tonight !!

Shae Dahne

Gorgeous views and plenty of space to avoid other people.

Carina Kwok

A fun place to wander with the kiddos. There are a mix of trails, some stroller-suitable (if you're willing to do stairs on one side of the park), and others that include climbing over rocks. The rocky beach was fun to explore. I appreciated the educational signage, though it's looking worn and needs replacing.

Jessie Wunderlick

Always worth a walk along the water or in the forest trails. Check out the fairy and gnome doors on trees if you have the time.

Devin Blaney

This place is beautiful. Right in Nanaimo but you couldn't tell when there. Wildlife, especially birds, galore. Also some old growth trees and a crescent beach looking to a cove that opens to the west.

Jamie Lee

Beautiful park, but lack of parking. On a sunny day, it makes all the difference! along the path, you will discover different types of scenery, which was very neat and interesting. starting with a nice little cove where i saw people sing even in this weather in November, wavy, log-floating pebbly beaches leading upto rocky waves crashing area. It was a mesmerizing walk

Sharon Doty

Great park with something for everyone from ocean to forest to fairy wonderland!

Uwe Nanaimoboyz

A beautyful Park but not Dog Friendly ,by that I mean Dogs have to be leashed

Lost Wandering Wander Guide (lostwandering.org)

Checked out Neck Point Park yesterday and it was amazing and busy!! The parking lot was full with cars coming in and out steadily. Luckily we were able to find a spot pretty quickly. The water was beautiful - it was milky and turquoise with the herring spawn. The paths along the water were nicely maintained with great viewing platforms. Would definitely visit again!

Devon McLeay

We go every weekend and every weekend I am once again blown away by how incredible this park is. The views are absolutely gorgeous, and no matter what you're looking for, you'll find it here. Forest (complete with adorable little faerie doors everywhere!), cliffs, beach, tide pools ... it's all there. And if one side is windy, just go to the other side and you'll be sheltered. Also bonus is the elementary school at the top of the hill - my kids get the best of all worlds by being able to play in the playground and then go throw rocks in the ocean. Win win for all

Les Korman

Stunning views. Clean, manicured, well used paths.

Adam Holt

Great for jogging, swimming, paths are well maintained.

Beautiful place for a walk

Jon Galliazzo

Always amazing, love collecting sea glass. About the most picturesque place in Nanaimo plus a lovely walk or bike, depending on what you're in the mood for.

Beautiful place to see a view from Mt Baker to Texada Island. We saw huge sea lions last time we were there.

Original Flow

Beautiful area to visit. Got family pictures done here and it was an amazing Fall setting for them.

Bill Smith

Beautiful sea views walking along a relatively groomed trail. Stoney beaches and all kinds of driftwood.

Mike Lemieux

It was soon amazing to go for walks

Kelly Pettit

One of my favourite places to go for a walk with the dog or early morning photos. It's also a place I take visitors. It's very close to the city but feels like you're miles from civilization. You can do a walk around the whole area in less than an hour or you can sit and enjoy a coffee while taking in the breathtaking nature. I like it slightly more than Pipers Lagoon.

Brandon Wong

Good views, lots of trails

Lucy Inman

Look for the fairy doors! Wonderful park! Dog's paradise!

Heather Comeault

Stunning park. The views are incredible it is so fun to walk along the rocks at the ocean and look for starfish and crabs. I found many heart rocks here as well as there are many kindness nanaimo rocks to be found or to be placed. It is so very cool. There are also little fairy doors in the bottoms of the trees along the trail. It is magical and beautiful and I would highly reccomend going here and bringing the family here the kids will love it

Keira Mackay

Not a bad place to sit and read a book with a bunny

Great place for a walk and to take the kids through the Gnome houses in the trees

Loved the hike. The park is maintained very well. Have tons of benches to sit and enjoy the spectacular views

Tere Arboleda

Beautiful in the summer even winter. The place is so scenic and instagrammable. We enjoyed our lovely walk on the trails. However, this winter the parking lot is not open. We park beside the school.

Lillian Henegar

Easy to get to. A beautiful place for a walk with little kids.

CC White

Great park! Paths / trails have a variety of difficulty so almost anyone can enjoy the breathe taking views. There is one Washroom facility by the main parking lot. If the main parking lot is full on weekends you can park at the school near the main gate.

Cameron Embree

Wonderful and accessible short hike with several spots with great views. Decent sized parking lot with tables to sit and enjoy a meal with friends and family.

Mark Kantypowicz

One of the most beautiful parks I have been too! Amazing views, great hiking trails and beautiful beaches. Will be returning for a picnic this summer for sure!

Pure beauty in Nanaimo. Shacks Island on the south-east and the most beautiful sunsets on the west... ❤️

luke mccullum

Best park ever. For sunset, for a stroll, weddings, etc...

Jilleybean

I never get tired of walking around Neck Point! It's so beautiful, and has a nice range of views to take in!

Amy Truong

This is genuinely a lovely park and we came across it by accident. Neck Point Park is quiet and beautiful. The waves are calm since it's surrounded by quite a bit of rocks. There's a small trail, lookout point and plenty of benches around the area.

Sonja Jadatz

Gorgeous! Perfect combo of seaside strolls and walking in the forest.

John T. Ferguson

Neck Point is a really nice park. Has very nice views. Lots of walking paths. Only thing wrong was today the whole island was covered with a dense blanket of smoke.

Lisa Corlett

Often quite windy, but gorgeous. Lots of wildlife.

Martin Gerstmar

Well laid out paths great views of the mainland many history boards to read too

Sean Penner

Excellent short walk/hike! Was winter conditions when I was there but still very enjoyable!

Lila Pitman

Beautiful walk

Robert Porter

Close to the Ferry terminal. Going there you drive by some of the beautiful houses you saw from the Ferry coming into Departure Bay. Great place to let the kids and dogs stretch their kegs after a long crossing. Quick to get back to the highway when you are done.

Ben McKay

Nice park, but not for dog walking in summer

Kelly Calberry

Beautiful scenery, easy trails. Its my happy spot to unwind and destress.

Luke Timmers

Really nice trail and beautiful scenery!

Marcy Davidson

Was a little windy. The trails are great but I wouldn't bring a stroller.

Kevin Druin

This is a small example of the extraordinary beauty found in the many parks along Vancouver Island. Try to plan to visit at low tide for the best views and exploring the rocks off shore.

pamatronics ng

Awesome views! A piece of natures art

Ryan Djakovic

Neck point is one of the best parks on the east island for scenic stroll along the inlet.

Lee Lau

Great hidden viewpoint with nice short trails and stairs up viewpoint

Jennifer Nowell

Love going here for the views. Nice walk, although not very accessible for wheelchairs or strollers.

Cindy Tang

Beautiful park with amazing ocean view. We love explore the rocky beach for natural sea life.

Alan C

I came here during the high tide in the afternoon and it still looks amazing. When it's low tide the area really opens up to you.

Careful Moose

A relaxed place with really cool ocean-side beaches and views of rocks and cliffs. Plenty of woods trail to walk if you have kids and/or dogs, has well-maintained paths and a charming toy exchange tree. Be prepared though for not a lot of parking.

Reginald Reynolds

Wonderful hiking Beaches are nice for walking

Autumn Fidler

Wonderful beach location and ocean views; beautiful forrest trails; The kids love it and it's good exercise; The wildlife also makes for some excitement (See who you can find!) Ocean swimming area on the calm side of the water looks like a good swim and is a desirable diving area! Garbage cans placed throughout are very appriciated and help keep the park clean. Little fairy houses in the woods trails are enchanting little surprises and make it fun for the whole family!

Ze Ez

Great view of the ocean, too many people and the beach is filled with gravel and seaweed.

Jeff “tire iron” Remillard

This is my new happy place , recommend all to see

Alexis S

Really beautiful park with nice trails, wild animals and great views.

Natalie Calabrese

Amazingly beautiful with bluffs, crashing waves, and tons of picnic areas.

Adamn Indian

Beautiful place go for nice walk. Dog friendly

Roger Tarves

Super cool place to walk through and explore. It looks so out of place! It's like something from the other side of Canada. Trails are well maintained.

k gates

This one is right next to Piper's lagoon Park they are essentially one in the same, they're both beautiful places in the Nanaimo area; if you are planning a visit make sure the tide is low so you get the best of your day. Footwear is important to if you don't want it wet or destroyed don't wear it.

Dom L

Great walking trails and ocean views

Brandon Sabrina

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I was amazed the first time I visited this rare gem. I have been wanting to return, but unfortunately have not. Though I plan the this summer. My better half has been back, during a freak Pikachu sighting while playing Pokemon GO.

Gary Cawthorne

Beautiful little inlet. Great view. Relatively easy access

Joey Hansen

Getting pretty busy almost as if Nanaimo is becoming a proper city.

Robert Waters

Walk the trails and listen to the birds and the wind in the trees, enjoy the scenery of snow-capped mountains and islands of the archipelago, bring binoculars to search for seals, whales and eagles from the lookouts and beaches, watch the sun rise or set over this paradise on Earth.

James Nunya

If you haven't been here, hurry up and do it. Lots of wildlife to see if you keep an eye out.

Igor Tyutyunnyk

Gorgeous place for relaxing

steve mitchell

A beautiful, easy walk through tree shaded trails and great ocean views.

Matthew Harrington

Wonderful park. Clean and a lot of trails and beaches to explore.

Softy Nonowt

Car park full so never visited

Kim Dingler

Another slam dunk trail in the middle of Nanaimo. What a beautiful wall on a gorgeous day! You can make it as hard or easy as you'd like, with lots of rocks to climb, and paths to explore.

Matt Joubert

Incredible spot. Loved it.

Stacey Brown

Absolutely gorgeous views. Great little hike that's great for all ages!

Damien Locke

Best park in Nanaimo to stroll and enjoy the ocean. I've seen orcas twice and sea lions multiple times. Great for taking dogs.

D Erickson

Great memories of a family cabin on the beach back in the 60's.

Dave Saechao

Really nice for a hike and some easy cliff climbing

Matt C

City park with several kilometres of beach front walking and few picnic tables

Tom Srbu

Beautiful place to listen to your dog whine while you've sat down, trying to enjoy a beautiful summer sunset on the water

Yacub Blackman

Beautiful fun family spot for all to enjoy.

John Delves

Went to watch the waves. Was a cold and rainy day so we had a quick walk.

Cathy F

Even though the carpark looked busy I crossed paths with 6 people. So many trails to take, you don't have to follow the standard route.

Debbie Scott

So beautiful. Ocean, beaches, nature walks through park. A must see

Ken Martin

I remember about 40 plus yrs ago my grandparents had a cabin there which we knew back then as Finn bay , I can't remember how many other cabins were there. I also Dean Finlayson house was at the point and inside the rock Dean store his boat after he took out on the water, I also remember Frank Nye came by on his boat to see someone where our cabins were. The best thing all the memories I have going there every summer as a kid

Janet Robertson

An oceanside park that is a Naniamoite's favourite spot for casual walks, jogs, dog walking, launching kayaks, family/wedding photos, or just exploring the seashore. Views of the Salish Sea, at its best and worst storms, seals and orcas at times, mainland coastal mountains and amazing sunrises and sunsets in the high summer. There are different paths to choose from that have look- outs making it an adventure for everyone.

Flor Launier

Beautiful walk we were lucky to be there for the Harring spawn turquoise waters, birds and seals were super happy ????

Bryan Poynter

Park is great for walks. Great view of the ocean.

Jane White

Always a lovely walk. Beautiful views.

Rachel Delorme

Beautiful ocean view, wonderful hike not hard at all

Jason Yee

Neck Point Park is a huge park! They have information signs that talk about the history of the park along with any information about the surrounding nature like the birds, trees, beach formation, etc. It isn't just a simple stroll in the park either. There are steep stairs which offer great views of the coastline! You're always within earshot of the crashing waves on the coast. At low tide you can venture further out into the more distant rocks or explore the intertidal zones. You can also go kayaking and scuba diving here as well! In fact, Neck Point Park is a popular place for scuba divers when the weather is nice or even when it's nasty out! The water is surprisingly calm as you dive deeper, away from the churning surface waters during a windy day. Great place to enjoy the coast and a great place to go for an easy stroll in the park!

Maynard Skrepnechuk

Beautiful scenery. Very tranquil and relaxing

Jeff Harris

Great hike, natural setting. Lots of rocks to climb and beaches for kids to play on

Simon TwoWheels

Beautiful walk. Often windy but worth it.

Andy Richards

Best park ever! Our dog Gary loves it there.

Sherry Schmidt

Lovely, such a variation of scenery...lovely.

M B

One of the most lovely walks on Vancouver Island!!

L&L

Wonderful park with nice trails. Worth the visit.

Natalie Kelt

A favourite park for our family. The fairy walk is currently a top pick when we visit Nanaimo. Not very stroller friendly but my child loves running along the trail to the beach and knocking on fairy doors and looking in the trees. Its a slice of magic for her. Previously I've walked the well maintained trained trails to see the picturesque views on the circuit but currently with small kids we have stuck to the fairy trail.

Aziz Lodhi

We saw a seal who was staring at us for a long time

C J (Great white north)

Fantastic outdoor walking and views. Great space to walk my doggo

Md J

Great little park. Parking is hard to find. Awesome views of the shore.

patti murphy

Lovely place nice picnic areas need larger noticeable non smoking signs...

Roger Peterson

Beautiful sea side park

salman khan

An excellent place to spend the day .. the beaches were rocky but very clean.. and for ocean water it was very nice and swimable ..and did i mention sparkling clean water. The trail and he views are just amazing the ocean ???? with the ⛰ mountains backdrop.

Chantelle Renaud

What a beautiful walk through the park. Even had a chance to see orcas

Holly Craig

Beautifully natural. Great place to watch wildlife, swim in the ocean, or launch kayaks. Very busy in the summer, though.

Jess Bajar

It has the most beautiful views and great wildlife

Cheryl Hutley

Very busy park, it's difficult to get a parking space. No washrooms just a smelly pit toilet. The park is looking neglected, paths are worn and people are trampling over the sensitive areas. Lots of fallen trees, very few wild flowers now. Although it's not an off leash park dogs frequently are. The ocean views are the redeeming part of the park, but it’s certainly not peaceful!

arnel sulit

Good view and place but windy

Andrea Paris Real Estate

Best park in Nanaimo. Has many beaches to explore or just sit and watch the ocean, catch some sun! Or walk in the shaded areas, at low tides can walk out to the smal rocky island....

Marcel van den Berg

Can't miss out on the fairy path and houses. Beautiful ocean views. Nice walk.

Angela Lang

An enjoyable park to spend an hour or two if you have some time before (or after) the Departure Bay ferry.

Jonathon Dagg-Coljee

Its a nice spot to take the family on a hike. Very nice beeten trail and so much to see.

rebecca godinjgjgjjrh

A magical, quiet haven. Nice little beaches, forest with deer, bunnies & faeries

Col Rossiter

Some good lookouts, but a lot of people. Suggest trying to go outside of peak periods of people in the morning before work and evening after most finish work. A good network of manicured trails.

Tim Cappadona

It's great if you like nature and story time with kids. I brought a 5 year old girl and a 9 year old boy. The fairy houses are off dirt trails (not gravel) by the parking lot of Neck Park.

lori youngash

Not a great place to swim, which is why I go to beaches. Very interesting for snorkeling, hiking, boating.

Matthew Bishop

Beautiful park with lots of view, great place for a jog or run with a dog

F FREEDOM

Neck Point Park with a very attractive view of naturew????????

Cailey Korhonen

Lovely place for a walk. Children love the fairy houses, as do adults!

Jim P

A beautiful spot to walk. Magical❤️

Adrian Carotenuto

Close to home and lovely.

Tiffany Vitez

Beautiful and peaceful park, perfect for runs, walks, and even wedding photos! There are a lot of different trails and smaller paths to take, leading either to an ocean view or open forrest area. There are some lookout spots on the outer edges of the park where land meets ocean, and on the inside you can find faerie houses planted throughout the trails. If you’re lucky you will get to see some wildlife, bunnies are very commonly seen. Rain or shine Neck Point Park is a great way to get out and enjoy nature, without having to go far from home if you’re a local, or just a passerby looking for an easy trail to stretch your legs.

Kehlan Huhn

Great place to explore. Lots for kids and adults to see . Rocks to climb. Beautiful sunsets

L Nel

Nice walk

John Curran

Met my wife there.....proposed to her there....we got married there. Very cool place. Is also awesome stormy as well.

Brent Booth

Nice and easy loop hike around the park.

Petrus W

The beach has lots of driftwood, very peaceful environment. You can also walk along the beach to look for seashells.

JR Fleming

Another reason why Vancouver couldn't hold a candle to this island.

Yousry Mahmoud

Quiet and nice trail along side the beach.

Gord MacKay

A great place to spend an hour of your day. Not an exceptionally large natural park, but there are lot's of criss crossing trails to take. I usually stick to the perimeter, since I go there for the ocean views. There is enough parking for about 30 to 40 cars, and most people bring their fur babies on leashes.

Kimberley

Great place for a walk as there are lots of paths to take. Unfortunately you have to be careful because some dog owners believe they don't need to keep their dog on a leash and let them run all over the place.

Lee Robinson

Good quick stop..beauty

Lance Jager

Nice long walk with beautiful scenery. Watched Lots of eagles and saw a deer

Mavrick Noddin

Amazing spot for Sunrises or sunsets! Super awesome ocean views & tons of wildlife.. Make a stop here if you haven't been before. Flat paths most of the way with some lookouts with stairs.. Biking is possible but there is only a few routes that are easy enough..& there is Picnic tables at the far side

jeff low

Beautiful spot, often see sea lions and other marine life, tons of trails and semi-private beaches

Melissa R

This park is absolutely stunning, and it is an absolute must if you are visiting Nanaimo. The views are incredible, with the sea meeting the mountains, I was truly moved by the beauty this park holds. I recommend coming in the evening, in order to watch the sunset. It was one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my entire life.

Jordan Bell

Awesome park. Fairly central to Nanaimo. Parking lot is not very big so will probably fill up on a busy day. On the ocean. Wooden view points and easy access to the beach, water and rocks.

Paul Solowoniuk

What Beautiful park ! Great trails and lots of rest spots ! Fun little fairy houses for the kids to watch for !

Barb Smith

Absolutely beautiful shoreline walk with lots of trails through the woods as well. Have been there several times and never tire of it.

Dan B

Great place for a hike. Amazing views by the ocean.

Grace Kelly

So lovely. Great trails, not a piece of litter to be seen, everyone on the trails are exceptionally polite and the views are to die for.

J Spry

Love the trail network. Lots of squirrels, birds, and other wildlife to see.

James Wagon

The coastline views are amazing, fishing here is fun.

Mark Doctoroff

Nanaimo's No. 1 attraction... This "Oceanside Park" highlights the diverse, natural, beauty of Nanaimo's coast, the Ocean, (tidal) Lagoon, offshore islands, the birds (especially the "Bald Eagle" and "Majestic" Blue Heron) and aquatic mammals (including whales and various species of seals) and the mountainous B.C. mainland [as a "backdrop"]. The Park also has many well maintained trails which allow visitors to "explore and experience" all of the Park's outstanding offerings! It is the combination of these features which have made its selection (by travellers like us) an the number one attraction in Nanaimo!! It has also been awarded TripAdvisor's coveted "Certificate of Excellence"... It is definitely worthy of a visit by young and older alike! I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Patsy Clark

Beautiful ocean views anytime

Kimrona M

Nice and easy loop with great views of the straight

Ryan Pan

Beautiful park, nice trails and fantastic scenery!

Jeremy Mac Knott

One of the best spots in Nanaimo to catch the sunset this Rocky shore has beautiful views and a very peaceful vibe. Get there early and pull up a spot on the beach, a log or maybe find that perfect place along the rocks because even the worst sunsets seem to still be beautiful here.

Steve Miller

Beautiful walk along the ocean.Great location for photography or a swim.

Chris Ridler

just an amazing location....even more so with the annual herring spawn occuring ....sea lions galore every march

Jon Parkhill

Beautiful park to see the mountains across the straight if it's clear!

Vietnam Industries

Wow most romantic place with the best views

Judith Sequeira

Beautiful scenery, very quiet on a Monday morning though I believe weekends can be very busy. Picnic tables and benches are scattered throughout the park to take a break and enjoy the views.

Mandeep Kaur

Paradise. Water is so calm and healing. Best place to find peace and heal yourself.

steve doering

Walking at neck point is unlike any park you will visit anywhere else. From forest, to beach, to open ocean views, you will enjoy this hidden gem.

Chris Dwyer

Beautiful spot for sunsets

Sam Evans

BEST place to take little kids for a hike/adventure

Mahri Armishaw

I go to Neck Point EVERYDAY and love it but in a week One seen 2 rv's with people sleeping I them and yesterday there we Jehovah Witnesses set up by the fountain.

Ray McCrae

One of my all time favourite places to take family & friends visiting as well as my own and my self. So many beautiful spots in this one spot ! Fairy doors are a fun little game as well. Always lots to see & find in this gorgeous spot.

Breanne P

One of my favorite Nanaimo spots. Easy trails and beautiful beach. The fairy doors are awesome, just make sure you bring along a small treasure for the take/leave treasure door.

Susan Haslam

Popular for hiking, and great for seeing marine life and birds. Spectacular scenery!

T D

This was one of the most beautiful parks we have ever been too. At low tide there is a path to a island were you can swim and have some privacy. At high tide the path disappears and you don't even know its there. This is not a sandy beach and there are rocky patches which can be dangerous for small children but you can still definitely swim here. Highly recommend this place.

June Johnston

Beautiful walk yesterday. Always look forward to another ????????

William Jones

This is a wonderful place for sights and walks

Jane Nielsen

A great easy hike with ocean views the whole way. Easy for kids too!

Ken Wickenheiser

Beautiful walk along the ocean. Great views.

Need some great views? Say no more and drive here. Could use a bit more parking but the scenery was worth it. Paths were well maintained and signage was reasonable

Ryan Jellema

Great park! Bring a toy to swap in the cool little fairy door!

K. RP

Beautiful place for a nice little hike, great spot for pictures and veiws

Betty-Anne Woodcock

Beautiful walk but parking lot needs to be bigger

Dennis B.

Nice trails. Great ocean views. Porta potty bathroom. Terrible! Parking lot is full of puddles and potholes most of the time. Having bags for pet waste is a plus!

Sanna Darby

Great ocean views, lovely Forest trail!

Dave Traviss

Great place to bring visitors to the island. Easy trail along the ocean.

Sandi Nelles

Beautiful views and hiking trails and not busy.

Asif Almonde

I live in Parksville but bring my dog for a walk here every other week. Lots of great trails to tire out big and small dogs. Plus great views of the strait

Ilya Parshakov

Might be the best place on the island for snorkeling. The water was not too cold on Aug 13 and still tolerable on Sep 25, though most people would want to wear a wetsuit so late in the year. I saw hundreds of crabs, a few pipefish, and some bright blue starfish.

Luboso D.

Lovely place for a quick walk by the ocean.

Gary Crocker

Lovely view of the ocean while the sun was shining. Lots of space for physical distancing but trails are a bit narrow so don't forget your face masks.

James Elder

One of my favourite places in Nanaimo. Beautiful coastline, trees, and often lots of birds and other sea life to be seen.

Saimuth Canada

A lovely place to have a nice long walk or sit in a quiet place!

Michelle GUNDERSON

Beautiful spot to visit

Ashley Tibbitts

Loved it. Soo many places to explore !!

Darby Lynn

So beautiful. Nice walking paths.

Jennifer K

A nice calm park with lots of picnic tables throughout. Many easy trails to explore. Most have neat gravel or is paved. Some stairs. There are plaques located everywhere for educational reading. Parking lot is medium size, probably holds about 30-40 cars. Saw a deer as well. Good place for picnics and strolls. Nice view of the waters and nearby land! From parking lot to neck point is probably about 10 minute walk.

Anna Mcmurtry

Very beautiful. Great place for 3 friends. To have a. Hike and a picnic

Christine Chang

The scenery is really beautiful. We went when it was super busy time (herring season) so there were lots of people in the park. With that in mind we still managed to get around the park and enjoy it. The wind can be very strong in some areas so beware of that if you have little kids with you.

jenny walker

So blessed to go here weekly! Beautiful park with trails and bridges. Be a perfect place to get married with the platforms they’ve built. The ocean changes constantly so every visit is a new surprise!

Andrea Blasko

The weather was cool and windy but scenery fantastic. Sea was rough and was tossing logs around on shore. Walk was nice.

J Mon

Beautiful spot, easy walking trail

Mandy B

Very well taken care of park. Always gorgeous views. Not too challenging of terrain, but enough trails you can make it more of fitness walk if wanted to.

Nancy Lan

Worth on a visit. But we didnt go all the way as its getting dark and windy/cold
