Travelling to Nanaimo by land or sea? Include a stop at Saysutshun/Newcastle Island Provincial Marine Park, in Nanaimo’s harbour.

Part of the Snuneymuxw First Nation Traditional Territory, this family-friendly park is only accessible by foot-passenger ferry from Nanaimo’s Muffeo Sutten Park or by boat.

Offering panoramic views of the Harbour City and Coast mountains, outdoor activities include swimming, kayaking, hiking and more, plus the Newcastle Island Café, located in the restored 1930s teahouse in a historic dance pavilion.
