Review & FAQ:

Parksville Beach is located in Parksville Community Park, on the eastern end of Vancouver Island. It is an endless expanse of fine hard-packed sand, flat and wide, perfect for long walks, biking, or making sandcastles. In fact, the beach hosts the Quality Foods Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition every year in July and August, attracting almost 100,000 visitors. Parksville Community Park is a kids’ paradise with water cannons and swings, if they ever get tired of playing in the sand and surf. The beach also has volleyball courts, a skateboard park, and even an outdoor gym. There is a pleasant waterfront boardwalk that runs along the beach.
