A Few of our Favorite Things

Posted | 0 comments

Sarah and Sean first met a year ago through Tourism Nanaimo where they quickly became good friends. This past summer they began putting the knowledge gained from Tourism Nanaimo to good use. That’s how Local Loves Nanaimo was born. Local Loves Nanaimo aims to show locals and visitors alike all the great places to explore in and around our beautiful Harbour City. Whether it’s posting about the outdoors, shops & eateries, or local recipes, there is sure to be a little something for everyone.

After a delicious meal at Jade Fountain, my family and I drove down to one of my favourite places in Victoria – Beacon Hill Park. My mission was to capture the cherry blossoms although they weren’t as “blossomed” as I had heard. But no matter, there was plenty to see!

Apart from the beautiful ponds (complete with duckies!), walking trails, gardens, and towering trees, Beacon Hill Park also has a small petting farm. The coolest part, in my opinion, is the free ranging peacocks!! These guys just chill out, walk around, and occasionally/regularly run away from tourists trying to snap some photos.

 

It started to pour on us near the end of our walk so we decided to seek shelter at a local coffee shop! We hit up San Remo Deli for a warm drink and a sweet treat. I, of course, had a London Fog and a Nanaimo Bar!

Have you guys been to Beacon Hill Park? What’s your favourite thing to do/see there? Let us know in the comments below!
