Piper’s Lagoon Park/Beach Wildlife Watching

An eight-hectare parkallowing you to explore the area as much as the whole city of Nanaimo. You may think it is pretty exaggerating, but once you step into this fantastic scenic park, you will approve what has been claimed now. The excellent beach Piper’s Lagoon Park features, is one of a kind and is one the best places in Nanaimo you can go beachcombing all year round and let your kites dance in the wind. This earthly heaven allows you to experience the incredible fishing events right by the shores of Georgia Strait. Imagine, right when you have thrown the bait into the water and waiting for some fish to fall for it and bite, a whale would breach out and roar miles away in the water. How wonderful it feels? Although whales are not close to being seen from the shore, they can be spotted by quality binoculars. It has been reported that in some places of the beach, you can see black-tailed deer walking, drinking, eating, and even mating in the meadows. If you are interested, take the necessary equipment and opt for an amazing black-tailed deer hunting on Vancouver Island. Pay attention that if you’re coming to the park to hunt, black-tailed deer harvest is only available during the open season based on hunting regulation by BC Government. Among all the wildlife, you can find and watch in abundance the various birdlife inhabiting the area. The size of the lagoon itself is equal to the size of three football fields together. It fills to the rim during high tide and empties almost entirely during the low tides. Consequently, a nutritious muck will remain after the water goes down that attracts different kinds of birdlife. Although birds are plentiful in the park, you cannot find their nest and see their chick, or maybe you would head to the places where no bird flies. That is why an experienced wildlife watching guiding team can be a big hand to make your wildlife viewing in Piper’s Lagoon Park memorable.

The waters fronting this park are home to different fish, that clearly the reason why many people are attracted to come to Piper’s Lagoon Park for its excellent fishing. The point is, yeah, it is home to various types of fish, but when we are talking about “being various,” we also mean being various in size. Whales, especially orcas, live in the waters around Vancouver Island, and whale watching cruises are one of the most-booked wildlife viewing tours. Let’s accept that watching these gigantic water creatures doing their daily routine is exhilarating. Keep in mind that viewing whales from the shore is very rare, and if you have binoculars, you’re able to spot them; that is why Vanisle Wildlife has designed cruises for your beloved visitor to make the most of your time during your stay on this magical park and beach. Other than whales, keep an eye on the waters to see some seals and sea lions. Besides, you may spot some bald eagles come down from the heights to grab a bite.

You may not see bears and wolves wandering around in this park, but you’re definitely are going to see colorful and different types of birds. As mentioned before, when the tides go down, there will be some mud nutritious enough for birds to start a living. That is mainly why Piper’s Lagoon Park is one of the popular destinations for migratory birds. During your stay in the park, the bird species you may encounter include bald eagles, great blue herons, sandpipers, horned grebes, kingfishers, loons, oyster catchers, and seagulls.
