Small coastal park on Departure Bay with rocky beach, paved waterfront paths, grassy picnic areas and views of Nanaimo harbour, ferries and distant mountains. Excellent for sunrise/sunset seascapes, reflections at low tide and environmental portraits. Easy access with free parking nearby, paved and gravel routes suitable for wheelchairs, no entry fee. Visit early weekday mornings or golden hour to avoid crowds; summer brings swimmers and community activity.
