Newcastle Island Trail
Newcastle Island at EveryTrail
To get to Newcastle Island you have to take a ferry, you can catch it at Maffeo Sutton Park in Nanaimo. The Ferry costs a toonie and within Minutes you've reached Newcastle Island. Make sure you are aware of the return times, last thing you want to do is maroon yourself.
This walk was a great combination of Beach & Forest walk. There was a board that mentioned the wildlife that you see in the area, but we forgot to take a picture of it. Archer did however sniff out some kids smoking weed in the forest, they looked paranoid and guilty but we just chuckled to ourselves, waved at the kids and moved on.
The Island is close to Nanaimo, so you can watch the city. There is good signage, in all we walked 8K in two and half hours.
