Beach is in the name! Qualicum Beach and Parksville are known for being a warm, sunny destination in summer, with miles of calm shoreline and sandy beaches at low tide to explore. Throughout the year, visitors come to enjoy sunset walks, exceptional birdwatching, boating, and fishing along the coast.
Fresh farm to table experiences are abundant around Qualicum Beach. Tour Little Qualicum Cheeseworks, The Truffle Farm and other local food producers. Pair fresh flavours with a pint or glass from one of many local breweries and wineries.

The Oceanside region offers many options for a family vacation, making it easy to bring multiple generations together with outdoor adventures, hands-on attractions, and relaxed places to gather.
Step away from the wide open beaches for the tall trees in Cathedral Grove or the scenic waterfalls along the Qualicum and Englishman Rivers. Venture out to the wild coast of the Pacific Rim, or jump on your bike for the adrenaline rush of Hammerfest.
