Pipers Lagoon is one of Nanaimo's most popular waterfront gems. 18 minute drive north from Living Forest Oceanside Campground & RV Park, it's a perfect place to walk, picnic, or just watch the ocean and perhaps see a pod of orca's or dolphins which occasionally transit the beach. Gem is an often used word, but see for yourself, it's appropriate here.

Shifting Tides at Pipers Lagoon Park in Nanaimo BC Canada
Pipers Lagoon Park and Shack Island lies at the edge of Nanaimo off the Straight of Georgia. The rugged shacks are used by the descendants of fishermen, and were built prior to the thirties. Low tide allows access to the island and day outings to explore the lovely landscape.

Pipers lagoon Nanaimo BC presented by Mike McKillican
Pipers Lagoon Park is the best, most exotic oceanside park in Nanaimo (aside from Newcastle Island, but that's not a fair contest).
The lagoon itself is the size of three football fields. You park at one end and walk along a narrow, straight dyke between the lagoon and the restless surf. The waves from the open water have created a marvellous pebbly beach with a great deal of mermaid's tears (a beautiful product of beach glass). Then it gets rocky; there is some non-technical rock-climbing for those who desire it, and one larger hill covered in arbutus and Garry Oak, eagles, driftwood and views of the Strait.
Shack Island
This island can be reached by pedestrians during lower tides.
Shack Island is a T-shaped, exotic slice of short bluffs and rocky beach amidst the shallow waters that separate Pipers Lagoon from Neck Point to the north.
There've been fishermen's cabins here since before the thirties – back when it was a long rowboat journey from downtown Nanaimo to these prime fishing grounds. The shacks were contructed as weekend shelters.
The shacks are rustic in appearance and are often thought to be abandoned, but really they are treasured and used as summer cabins by a lucky few descendants of the original owners. So, please be respectful of these properties if you venture there.

This was a very short but sweet visit to Pipers Lagoon. I was driving by and happened to see the sign so I thought I would check it out, well I'm glad I did because I got to see my first jellyfish (not sure if it were alive or not) and got to take advantage of the amazing clarity of the GoPro under water.
I love this island!!
