What's your favourite thing about Parksville/Qualicum Beach?

What's your favourite thing about Parksville/Qualicum Beach?

For our June contest, we asked our Parkside Victoria Facebook fans what their favourite thing is about Parksville and Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island.  

Incase you needed anymore reasons to visit, here's what they had to say!

Gloria Schanz - I love going to see the sand castle competition in Parksville.

Karen Ann - I agree. Watching the sand castle builders is fun... we usually go to the Wild Life Rescue at the same time; there's usually cubs at that time.

Madeline Milne - Rescuing the sand dollars on the beach when the tide goes out.

Michelle Gillespie - Spending time with family and friends on the beach and watching their ever-expanding sand castles.

Sarah Petrescu - My fave things: My friend Nathan, aesthetics seaweeds and oysters... but I need to spend more time there.

Miesha Breiter - Definitely going mini-golfing at the famous Paradise Adventures Mini-Golf course, swimming in Englishman River and ending the day at the Rod & Gun Pub! It's a wonderful place to spend a day or a full weekend.

Tria Donaldson - The beaches, the forests, the awesome people.

Victoria Campbell - Love the camping, beaches and yummy restaurants!

Katie Norman - My favourite thing to do in the Parksville/Qualicum Beach region is to play beach volleyball, walk along the beach and eat at Lefty's and Giovanni's - YUM!

Shannon Russell - My favourite thing to do in the Parksville/Qualicum Beach region is to walk along the beach, camp by the river or play mini-golf!

Heather Prencipe -My favourite thing to do in the Parksville/Qualicum Beach region is to skimboard and watch all the people flying kites.

Penny Routledge - I love to walk along Rathtrevor Beach in Parksville.

Carrol Ann MacLeod Pedersen - My favourite thing about Parksville is seeing how happy my children are as they run and play in the ocean all day! Pacific Shores holds a dear spot in my heart, as it is where I spent my 5th wedding anniversary two years ago. We enjoyed an amazing dinner with fantastic customer service and ended the evening with a wonderful walk on the beach!

Ben Vadasz - The best thing about Parksville and Qualicum is that you enjoy going back! You never get everything ticked off your 'Things to Do' list and look forward to the next visit. Plus the weather, beach and friendly locals are a bonus. Enjoy.

Jill Kenny - Parksville/Qualicum Beach is the perfect place for family fun; you can skimboard, paddle, build sand castles, picnic, fly a kite and explore the tidal pools.  A special place to make memories that last a lifetime.
