NORTH ISLAND SUMMER SEND-OFF 🎉 (Everyone Welcome)

Join us for an easy waterfront walk along Nanaimo's inner harbor to close out the summer — coffee before, brewery after. COFFEE FIRST ☕ (Optional) We'll meet at 10:00 AM for coffee at Regard Coffee Roasters — one of the best cafés in Nanaimo. 6540 Metral Dr #100, Nanaimo, BC V9T 0L8 Hike starts at 12:00 PM, so come grab a coffee with us first if you'd like. About the Trail🌲🗻 This 5.8 km out-and-back is a great urban walk along the city's inner harbor. The route passes marinas, parks, a beach with man-made tide pools, and ends in the downtown area. The path is paved with a yellow line down the middle — part of it is multi-use, and other sections are bike-free. Easy, scenic, and social — watch for the Swy-a-lana Lagoon, Rotary Centennial Garden, and Commercial Inlet along the way. AFTER THE WALK 🍺 We're heading to Longwood Brew Pub & Restaurant to celebrate the end of summer together — great food, local beer, and good company. 5775 Turner Rd, Nanaimo, BC V9T 6L8 Stats 📊 Length: 5.8 km out-and-back Elevation Gain: 63 m Route Type: Out and Back Difficulty: EASY Estimated Time: 1–1.5 hours What to Bring📋 Comfortable walking shoes or trail runners 1–2L of water Snacks Layers for changing weather Cash/card for coffee + the pub Good vibes & a smile ♥︎ AllTrails 🔗 https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/british-columbia/nanaimo-waterfront-path
