The Parksville-Qualicum Beach area of central Vancouver Island offers many types of recreation for all ages from children through to seniors. What's your choice? Curling, swimming, boating, tennis, skating, lawn bowling, golf, hockey, softball, soccer, martial arts, crafts, fishing, squash, skiing? We have it all!

The warm weather and sandy beaches are hard to beat. We are home to six superb golf courses all within a 30 minute drive. Moor your boat at one of three marinas in the area. Hike through one of our many provincial parks or up Mt. Arrowsmith. Ski Mt. Washington in the morning and play a round of golf in the afternoon. Drive two hours to Long Beach on the island's west coast and go surfing. Like playing tourist? Travel two hours south to Victoria and visit the many attractions you'll find there - then have tea at the Empress Hotel!
