Neck Point Park

I'm not sure if I can call Neck Point Park my favourite of all the Nanaimo parks, but it's surely the one I've visited the most frequently. The reasons are many; easy access, plenty of parking, land and seascape variety, plus a choice of preferred elevation gain, to name but a few. Certainly I'm attracted to the fact that the park offers pleasant forest paths leading to a variety of beaches. In total, there are five different beaches to explore; Finn, Last, Indian, Sunset, and Keel.

Furthest from the parking lot is Sunset Beach (Although I've been here many times,
I can't say I've ever been here at sunset)...2017-06-16

First post in this blog about Nanaimo parks

First post in the blog about Nanaimo parks: a stroll down the centre of Neck Point Park. The objective of this blog is to feature the major parks in and around Nanaimo. Each of the major parks will be given a page of it's own. The blog posts themselves will be a rather random selection of photos taken at the parks, with links to the relevant pages. For example, this post about Neck Point is also linked to the corresponding NECK POINT page (see page index above).
