Located on the eastern shores of Vancouver
Island, Parksville is a community located north of Nanaimo
and east of Port Alberni. Together
with the adjacent community of Qualicum
Beach, Parksville makes up the bulk of the picturesque Oceanside
Region of Vancouver Island, a region known for its beaches and family atmosphere.
Parksville's bragging rights are centred on its waterfront, which offers some
of the warmest ocean water in Canada as well as a 7.5 km (5 mi) uncrowded strip
of sand. Parksville
Beach Festival celebrates sand with a host of beach-related events, the highlight
being a master status sandcastle competition. Although there are plenty of parks
in and around Parksville (including the popular family destination of Rathtrevor
Provincial Park), the community gets its name from the Parks family who were
among the first settlers in the area. Today, recreational beachcombers, golfers,
and fresh or saltwater anglers happily settle into the area for their vacation.
