It’s time to reconnect with nature. And what better place to do that than at the beach. Breathe in the salty sea air, sink 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 towards one of many modern boutiques. Browse shops that sell soaps, sustainable local products and rustic beach decor — all just a few minutes walk away from the sandy shore.
