Eagle Point - Nanaimo Beaches
North Nanaimo and Lantzville are where our beaches can be found. In the Dover Bay area, there are several trails right in suburbia that lead down flights of stairs to the beach. If you come here at high tide, you may pass it off as a boring, sunless spot, even if there ARE huge trees with eagles' nests up top.
But at low tide, Eagle Point in particular is a huge, beautiful, sandy beach, or so I've heard (I'm one of those who's been there at high tide only.) I'm not aware of the exact location of Eagle Point in particular. Could someone illuminate me, and use the contact form at right?
For now, there is some info on our Nanaimo forum. Thanks islandgal!
Here's what she said, in case you don't want to visit the forum:
Eagle Point is an area of North Nanaimo that lies between Uplands Drive and Brickyard Rd and is towards the ocean from Dover Road. There are many access trails as you said down to the waterfront. I don't know about "sandy beaches", but there are typical Nanaimo beaches (rock/sand mixture) as there are all the way along the waterfront from there to Piper's lagoon practically. There are lots of little access trails all over, off Icarus, Shoreline, Bayshore, Fillinger, etc.
