Barbie and I have decided that Hammond Bay, with the very nice Charlaine Boat Ramp, is one our favorite places for a quick paddle. There certainly is plenty to see and do, with the quaint Shack Island across from the boat ramp and swimming at the beach by the ramp or in Piper's Lagoon.
Pipers Lagoon Park is the best, most dramatic and exotic oceanside park in Nanaimo. Imagine a lagoon the size of a couple of football fields, with a narrow, straight dyke cutting it off from the surf, which has 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 neat but short rock-climbing for those who desire it, and one larger hill covered in arbutus and Garry Oak, eagles and scared rabbits, driftwood and views of the Strait.
