Nanaimo Nanaimo Bar 

Aerial View of Nanaimo Harbour, Tourism BC photo	Nanaimo is officially known as Harbour City for good reason. Stretched like a long, lean finger along the east coast of south-central Vancouver Island, British Columbia's sixth-largest city gets its identity, history and a wealth of recreation from a lovely, island-sheltered harbour right in the heart of town. Hiking, boating, kayaking, biking and world-class scuba diving and snorkeling are everyday activities at the bustling waterfront, as seaplanes take flight from sparkling blue waters. Today, Nanaimo (population 78,992) is a fast-growing urban centre that is no longer merely the premier gateway to Vancouver Island. A boldly revitalized downtown core, delightful harbourfront walkway, sparkling new museum, affordable art galleries, and a wealth of cool shopping and dining alternatives are good reasons to park the car, find accommodations and stay awhile.
	Getting Here and Around Getting here is an (ocean) breeze via BC Ferries routes into the Departure Bay and Duke Point ferry terminals. The flight to Nanaimo's inner harbour from Vancouver, Longer-term visitors use Nanaimo's central location as a base of operations for exploring Vancouver Island. British Columbia's capital Victoria, Mount Washington's superb skiing (in the Courtenay/Comox area) and the wild Pacific Ocean beaches of Tofino and Ucluelet can all be reached within two-and-a-half hours' drive at most.
	Starting Point: The Visitor Centres Pick up Tourism Nanaimo's annual Travel Planner and Maps & Attractions Guide at one of the city's two Visitor Centres. The main centre is in a restored log home in Beban Park, located at 2290 Bowen Road and easily accessible from exit 21 of the Nanaimo Parkway (aka Highway 19). Brochures, maps, ghost stories (the building is reputedly haunted) and friendly advice on how best to utilize one's time in Nanaimo is freely dispensed. Information and maps can also be picked up at a downtown visitor information kiosk in the spanking new Vancouver Island Conference Centre on Commercial Street.
	Where to Explore The historic downtown is now divided into three, neatly designated zones: The Old City Quarter with its restaurants and heritage buildings; the Arts District, a city-centre focal point for artist galleries and performance spaces; and a sweeping harbourfront walkway dotted with public plazas, shops, dining spots, parkland and a swimming lagoon. The downtown waterfront promenade is also the site of passenger-ferry departure points for two nearby island gems: Protection Island (home of Canada's only floating pub) and the historic, picnic-perfect Newcastle Island. Gabriola Island, an idyllic artist's colony and getaway spot, is also in regional waters and is serviced from downtown by a car ferry.
	North Nanaimo and Nearby Parks North Nanaimo is perhaps best known for the shopping malls strung along the Island Highway (#19A) – notably the Woodgrove Shopping Centre, the largest such megamall on Vancouver Island.  The northside's lovely waterfront parkland accessible from Hammond Bay Road, Neck Point, Piper's Lagoon and Sealand parks in particular are excellent hiking, picnicking and walk-in diving spots. First-rate pubs, fine B&Bs. Westside Nanaimo An easy drive west of Nanaimo takes outdoor enthusiasts to the edge of Vancouver Island's wild places. Westwood Lake is a favorite swimming spot staffed in the summer by lifeguards;    the adjoining parkland features loop trails for walking and mountain biking as well as the trailhead that leads up challenging Mount Benson, Nanaimo's highest neighboring peak at 1,023m/3,356ft. Long distance treks are easy on the paved, tree-lined Parkway Trail, which runs for 22km/14mi alongside the Nanaimo Parkway (Highway 19).
	South to Cedar Heading south towards Victoria on the Trans Canada Highway (#1) for ten minutes takes one past the Nanaimo River Estuary, the Duke Point ferry terminal and onwards to the rural farms, orchards and community of Cedar. Farmers work the soil while raising vegetables, cranberries, apples, blueberries and more. One of the favourite neighborhood pubs, the Crow and Gate, is here, along with a busy Sunday farmer's market and accommodation options ranging from B&Bs to oceanfront resorts. Also in the area: the renowned WildPlay Elements Park, an activity zone where one can bungee jump and clamber around a tree-top obstacle course.
