If you need to take a rest from ticking things off your to-do list, find a shady patch to sit at Long Lake. Bring some nibbles and a good book ... This is the place to switch to relax mode!
This body of water is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Nanaimo. But Long Lake isn't the area's only highlight. Vancouver Island University, Woodgrove Shopping Centre, and Departure Bay Beach are some other worthwhile sights close by.
