While Stephenson Point may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and Departure Bay Beach.
Stroll the scenic Harbourfront Walkway where seaplanes land beside the marina and locals fish off public docks. Explore the forested trails of Newcastle Island, then treat yourself to the city's famous layered Nanaimo bars at a city centre bakery.
I love pipers lagoon. Such a peaceful place and not crowded at all. Friendly people around.

We love the area but homelessness is clearly a huge problem, making it feel somewhat unsafe in some areas.

We had a hard time finding parking near the waterfront. They had one large parking structure closed during summer which was poor timing. Good restaurants but has some areas that were questionable. Maps were not very helpful.

A lot of building. Nice development overall. Wish fashion options would keep up. Extremely picturesque.

We love Nanaimo but will come back when we can camp locally or find a similarly priced STR.

It had a great breakfast/brunch restaurant tucked away called the Breakfast Nook.
"We stayed here after travelling from the interior and catching the late ferry. It was a great stopover with our two young kids. The room was clean, updated, and the whole grounds felt safe to be in. We showed up after check in hours but the reception left our key for us so we didn’t have to worry about timing. I would recommend staying here !"
