Nanoose Bay Community Information

Nanoose Bay takes in several large peninsulas and can offer private acreages with forested rocky outcrops, some with truly spectacular snow-capped Vancouver Island and Coast Range mountain viewscapes immersed in blue ocean. This area is drier, sunnier and warmer that the surrounding area due to both a local rain-shadow effect and the proximity to moderating Pacific Ocean waters.
