We went out to Nanoose (Beachcomber Beach) today as my friend had been out last weekend and there was Sealions all over the rocks. They come every year for the Herring Spawn. They stay a few weeks to feed and then keep going on their trip South. They are still at some of the other beaches in Nanaimo but had gone from this one. I'm pleased we went though anyway as we've never been out there and it's probably one of the best beaches that I've been to in Nanaimo. It was a bit of land that sticks out (what the heck is that called?!) and one side was a beach which was where we went. This was the calmer side and then the other side was rocks that we could have walked down on to but it was so windy and the waves on that side were wild, probably a good 10-15 feet high. I would have liked to go down there but the kids were actually a bit freaked out. It was so loud with the wind and the waves. We'll have to go back and bring daddy next time he is home.
