Explore the natural highlights and scenic beauty of our mountain and oceanside setting or some of the finer qualities of our urban amenities. Enjoy a taste of the refreshing and relaxed atmosphere that fuels the imagination and fires the spirit of our residents and tourists. We have a vibrant social and cultural life in Nanaimo. We host an 800-seat Performing Arts Theatre in the downtown core, a large, inviting Regional Library, and we are known as the Island’s “shopping mecca” since we offer not only name-brand stores but also one-of-akind art and clothing galleries, pottery and hand-made jewellery. Our central location makes Nanaimo the perfect home base for visits anywhere on the Island. In driving distances, we are 90 minutes north of the capital city of Victoria, three hours from Toﬁno, and 45 minutes south of Parksville.
