REJUVENATE ESCAPE AT YOUR OWN PACE

LOCALS AND VISITORS RECOMMEND THESE SPOTS

Spend some time in Parksville Qualicum Beach and recharge your batteries. You can do as much, or as little, as you like, in a relaxed atmosphere and at your own pace.

Do the things that make you happy, or better yet find new ways to discover your bliss. Explore a local swimming hole, sample regional wine and beer, attempt a “pop shove” on a skimboard, practice a new yoga pose on the beach, visit an artist’s studio, unwind with a relaxing spa treatment, or enjoy a seaside meal with friends… you’ll feel like a new person, or perhaps the person you once were.

Skimboard & Stand-Up Paddleboarding Flatland skimboarding and stand-up paddleboarding culture has exploded in Parksville Qualicum Beach and today the area hosts some of the biggest competitions in the country. Parksville Beach has long and wide tidal pools, making it ideal for the skimboarding. The area’s sheltered waters are perfect for stand up paddleboarding. Visitors can rent or buy boards in the area and take camps and lessons. See the shopping, tours & rentals directories on page 69.

Cycling and Skateparks Explore trails, parks and cycling routes connecting communities. A stunning trail leads from Resort Drive to Top Bridge Park which hosts a mountain bike course that ranks as one of BC’s best. Whether on a BMX or skateboard, Parksville’s skatepark by the sea has phenomenal views of the ocean and Qualicum Beach’s is set in the forest.

Golfing Take your pick. Care to stroll in a mountain valley, through a coastal Douglas fir ecosystem, or through rustic grassy meadows? With seven courses to choose from, all within a 45-minute drive from one another, the toughest part of your day may be making this decision. Read more about golfing on page 49.

CPR Regional Trail This historic trail was built in 1912 by the Canadian Pacific Railway to service guests at its Cameron Lake Resort. The trail winds uphill from Highway 4 through private forest lands to the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District’s park, which was previously a ski hill. It takes about four hours to get to the old ski hill, and about halfway up there is a fantastic view of the lush land below. The entire trail is about 10 km with an elevation gain of 1,000 meters. Park at the Cameron Lake day-use area and cross the highway to access the trailhead. See the tours & rentals directory on page 69 for guided hikes.

Parksville

It’s time to reconnect with nature. And what better place to do that than at the beach. Breath in the salty sea air, bury your toes in the warm sand and feel the stories of the land.

There’s a reason Parksville is known as Canada’s Riviera. Few beaches outside Mexico and the Caribbean compare with our kilometres of serene sandy beaches at Parksville Bay and Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park.

Parksville’s Community Park, as the name suggests, really is a gathering place for all who live and visit here. Stroll the waterfront walkway and visit the famous Lion’s Venture Playground & Waterpark. There’s beach volleyball courts and even a new outdoor fitness gym and a skateboard park where all ages can enjoy many happy hours.

Just up from the beach is Parksville’s downtown. Ask a local to point you toward one of the many modern boutiques. Browse shops selling soaps, sustainable local products and rustic beach decor – all just a few minutes walk from the sandy shore.

Discover Art: The McMillan Arts Centre (the MAC) is a hundred-year-old building located in the heart of town. The centre has ongoing art exhibitions and musical concerts where visitors are most welcome.

Discover History: The Parksville Museum and Archives at Craig Heritage Park display a number of heritage buildings like a blacksmith’s shop, post office and schoolhouse, all filled with artifacts and stories to tell.

French Creek

Situated halfway between Parksville and Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island’s “Oceanside Route” Highway 19A, French Creek is a bustling marine community. French Creek is a popular Vancouver Island marina for its central location.

A Federal Dock complete with facilities for visiting boaters, moorage, fresh seafood sales, charter companies. You will also find the French Creek House Resort and Marine Pub here, as well as home base for the walk on ferry over to Lasqueti Island.

French Creek’s Columbia Beach is a popular windsurfing and kiteboardering destination. Morningstar Golf Club and Little Qualicum Cheeseworks are just minutes up the road from harbour.

French Creek is an annual stop on the Cadillac Van Isle 360 international yacht race that circumnavigates Vancouver Island every summer. The Cadillac Van Isle 360 runs at the same time as French Creek Harbour Days festivities offering fun for everyone.

Qualicum Beach

What a quaint town! It’s a phrase residents hear a lot. And it’s true. Explore downtown Qualicum Beach and find unique, independent boutiques, shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants — with no big box or franchise stores in sight.

The streets are lined by traditional architecture and there is always a colourful Qualicum Beach array of flowers, trees, planters and gardens found on every corner.

For Garden Lovers: • Experience the magic of Milner Gardens and Woodland - 28 hectares (70 acres) of unspoiled natural beauty steeped in royal history perched on the edge of an oceanfront bluff overlooking the Strait of Georgia.

• Qualicum Beach is a hub of artistic talent with stunning art galleries all within walking distance.

Discover Art: The Old School House (TOSH) is at the heart of it all. This historic, hundred-year-old building is filled with local art and artists, some working while you browse. TOSH also hosts arts and culture events throughout the year.

Discover History: • Visit the Qualicum Beach Museum, featuring an extensive and renowned Paleontology Exhibit as well as the Social History of the town of Qualicum Beach and area. Oral history videos let visitors discover what Qualicum Beach was like when it was a retreat for the rich and famous, such as Bob Hope and the King of Siam.

• Just steps from downtown Qualicum Beach is the town’s playground, swimming pool, skate park, BMX track, sports fields, and off-leash dog walking trails.

• Join the locals and walk the waterfront promenade. It is lined with picnic tables and shade trees, and there is a wash/change room, and lots of parking. Kayak and standup paddleboard Continued PG.25 >> rentals are available during the summer months.

Arrowsmith Coombs Country

• Tamer animals can be found, and even petted, a bit further down the road at Tiger Lily Farm, where there are seasonal events, pony rides and more. Hamilton Hobby Farm in Coombs also has a petting farm, wagon rides and a gift shop.

• Englishman River and Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Parks are a highlight for many visitors to this part of the region where they find easy wilderness hiking and spectacular waterfalls.

• Surely visitors to the area have heard of the Goats on the Roof.

Coombs Country Market is where you’ll find them. Famous for its Old Country Market, the shops in this area can best be described Nanoose Bay as eclectic.

• Other flying creatures can be found at Butterfly World and Gardens, with its dazzling array of insects, reptiles and flowers.

• Take a dip in Cameron Lake and see if you can spot the Loch Ness monster-like creature that has been sighted for centuries.

• Stop at MacMillan Provincial Park for a view of 800-year-old trees towering 80-meters high, and you’ll get a taste of what Vancouver Island forests used to be like. You’ll also understand where the park got its familiar name, Cathedral Grove.

Nanoose Bay

Nanoose Bay has some incredible day hikes, among towering old growth fir and twisted red arbutus trees. Nanoose Bay is located at the South end of the Parksville Qualicum Beach region.

The highlights of the Highway 19 route through Nanoose Bay include the Arbutus Meadows Event and Equestrian Centre and the world’s tallest gnome (7.91m), now recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records.

If you want to experience all Nanoose Bay has to offer, take the scenic route on Northwest Bay Road through the heart of the community.

Stop in the quaint Red Gap commercial hub for a coffee break or some grocery shopping. At Powder Point Road you can take a short hike up The Notch to admire Garry Oak and Arbutus meadows, and spectacular views of the Strait of Georgia and across to the mainland.

Nanoose Bay is also home to the Fairwinds Golf Club, marinas, recreation facilities, and hidden beaches. Moorecroft Regional Park, our newest regional park, has amazing trails through remote forest and along rocky shores.

Among the many stops of interest are the Nanoose Edibles Organic Farm, with u-pick berries, a farm stand, and events. Pick up some Vancouver Island grown, hormones and antibiotic-free, beef and chicken at Springford Farm, that is known for environmental stewardship. The Rocking Horse Pub is an authentic English-style pub with a garden patio, and down the road you’ll find Pacific Shores Resort and Spa with its Smoke N’ Water Restaurant.

WELCOME TO << Continued PG.26

Lighthouse Country

North of Qualicum Beach you’ll discover the charming and rustic, Lighthouse Country. Named for the lighthouses on Sisters Island and Chrome Island, the region includes the communities of Dashwood, Qualicum Bay, Dunsmuir, Bowser and Deep Bay. This peaceful stretch of coast is home to Island Scallops, which produces rock scallops, native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.

There are no flashy tourists sites in this neck of the woods, instead you’ll find stunning wood carvings peppered throughout the area, a few cozy restaurants, and a quaint village centre in Bowser, called Magnolia Court. Stop there for a coffee, shop for gifts and feed your artistic spirit at the Salish Sea Market, which is stocked with incredible local creations like paintings, home decor items, jewelry and soaps. Winding through the area is Nile Creek, which has a small hatchery where volunteers have helped restore pink salmon to record numbers. Today Nile Creek is known as a world-class fly-fishing destination.

Lighthouse Country’s unpretentious small inns, bed & breakfasts and campgrounds cater to visitors looking for a retreat that’s off the beaten path. If you like music festivals, don’t miss the annual Lighthouse Bluegrass Festival in early summer.

If unbridled adventure is what you’re looking for, then head to Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park and take a guided tour. Or if a day at the beach is more your style, visit Horne or Spider Lake. Spider Lake, with its patches of sand and warm waters, is a favourite of locals. It’s also a popular spot for canoeing and kayaking. Stop by the PineRidge Farm Market on your way to or from the lake, for some ice cream, coffee and fresh produce. Spider Lake is known for its superb fishing year-round, and is stocked with small mouth bass and Rainbow trout. Powerboats are prohibited, but small boats, canoes and kayaks are a common sight.

Further north, the colourful and calm Deep Bay Marina is a pleasant stop. Enjoy some fish and chips while you watch the activity at the dock, or continue on down a road of crushed seashells to the state-of-the-art Deep Bay Marine Shellfish Station. Vancouver Island University conducts research at the facility, which offers amazing views of Baynes Sound along with tours, musical events and hands-on activities.

GOLF

YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE Golfing in Parksville Qualicum Beach is about taking time to do something for yourself while enjoying unparalleled outdoor beauty. When you’re not looking down at your ball, you’ll be looking up at mountains, second growth forest, wildlife, meadows, lakes and the ocean. Bring family and friends or come alone and team up with some locals. And because of our mild climate, local golf courses are open almost 365 days a year.

2015 Parksville Qualicum Beach Discovery Guide

ACCOMMODATIONS

If you have visions of gazing out to sea from your room or stepping onto the sand with your book in-hand, that’s no problem in this area.

Parksville Qualicum Beach offers more beachfront accommodation than any other Vancouver Island destination. There are a couple of hotel chain choices, but most accommodation options are small and often owner-operated. In this way you’ll get a real honest and authentic experience complete with the sounds of waves crashing, seals barking and seagulls calling, while you’re in your room.

If you’re looking for a waterfront resort escape, with amenities like spas, pools, hot tubs, whirlpools and fitness centres at your fingertips, you can get that too. Parksville Qualicum Beach resorts are known for their world-class accommodation and luxurious rooms, often equipped with fireplaces, kitchenettes and top-notch appliances.

There are lots of local packages to keep you active while you’re here, including winemakers dinners, kayaking & exploring tours, and spa & cuisine packages.

Let the kids create some of their own fond memories as they participate in enriching, educational yet fun activities, part of seasonal kids recreation programs at local resorts. Locals take their kids to the Lions Venture Land playground in Parksville year round.

In the summer our kids play at Storybook Village in Qualicum Beach, a child size village, complete with tiny roads, mini-cars and businesses.

Bike, kayak, scooter, and board rentals are available around town to help you reconnect with nature at your own pace. And some of the lodgings loan out this equipment free of charge.

If you’re looking for the simple pleasures found outdoors, make your way to one of our campsite and RV parks. Some are situated on or steps from the beach, and others are next to our local rivers.

Most of the area’s accommodations are a short walk to local trails, to watch the sun setting on the water, and to share a bite to eat at our friendly restaurants
