    Tips

    October 23, 2025

    Gallows Point Light Park sits on the tip of Protection Island and offers one of the best views back across to Nanaimo Harbour—with the lighthouse and Mount Benson as your backdrop. The small sandy beach and shoreline make it a perfect stop for a rest overlooking boat traffic, seals, and the busy marine gateway. Note: the park’s dog-off-leash area is here, so it’s lively but still natural and scenic.
