Nanoose Bay

The rural community of Nanoose Bay is a hot spot for golfers, clam diggers and water sports enthusiasts. Nanoose Bay enjoys a country atmosphere while being close to the city amenities of Parksville and Nanaimo. The peninsula's large, protected harbour is a popular destination for visiting boats from around the world, and is home to an assortment of marinas, one as large as 400 berths. The Nanoose Bay area is a vacationer's paradise, offering a wealth of activities, including hiking, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and fishing.

Nanoose Bay is named after a First Nations band related to the Nanaimo Indians. The theory locally is that the word means 'pushing forward', referring to the shape of Nanoose Bay, a six-kilometre long deepwater bay formed by the peninsula.

Location

Nanoose Bay is located north of Nanaimo, just off Highway 19 on the east coast of Vancouver Island.
