Nanoose Bay

The rural community of Nanoose Bay is a hot spot for golfers, clam diggers and water sports enthusiasts. Nanoose Bay enjoys a country atmosphere while being close to the city amenities of Parksville and Nanaimo. The peninsula’s large, protected harbour is a popular destination for visiting boats from around the world, and is home to an assortment of marinas, one as large as 400 berths. The Nanoose Bay area is a home owners paradise, offering a wealth of activities, including but not limited to hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing,  boating, and fishing.

Nanoose Bay is named after a First Nations band related to the Nanaimo Indians. The theory locally is that the word means ‘pushing forward’, referring to the shape of Nanoose Bay, a six-kilometre long deep-water bay formed by the peninsula.

The farm to table lifestyle community of Fairwinds lies within Nanoose Bay along with other incredible areas such as the private acreages of Rivers Edge. There is something for everyone within Nanoose Bay from condo style living to full acreages to spectacular waterfront properties.
