PARKSVILLE
Parksville is a delightful area located beside the ocean, north of Nanaimo and close to the nearby areas of Qualicum Beach, Errington and Nanoose. Well-known for its beautiful beaches and small-town charm, Parksville is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer for the annual Beach Festival and Sand Sculpting Competition. Like Qualicum Beach, Parksville is also an attractive retirement community due to its lovely scenery and relaxed lifestyle.
