Hammond Bay Area
Hammond Bay is a smallish body of water, but the name is often used for a larger area in North Nanaimo, because Hammond Bay Road is the main route along this stretch of hillside overlooking the ocean.
This neighbourhood has properties with stunning views and luxury homes. The hilly terrain accommodates quite a few of these homes, making it appear as a quaint village from the water at night.
Hammond Bay is between Dover Bay and Departure Bay. When people refer to the Hammond Bay area as a neighbourhood, they often refer to homes as far south as the northern shore of Departure Bay itself, near the biological station.
Along bus routes? Yes.
Bad part of town? No.
