Paradise Sea Side RV Resort - Parksville, BC

Located on the eastern shores of Central Vancouver Island, there is approximately 20 km (12 mi) of sandy ocean beach in the Qualicum Beach and Parksville area. The low tides and warm waters are ideal for paddling and beachcombing. Others sunbathe, swim or perhaps play a game of beach volleyball. No matter your choice the ocean beach is a relaxing way to spend a day. But there are lots of other ways to spend your time in Parksville and area. Nearby Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park is full of majestic old growth trees, beautiful ocean sunsets and an inviting, wide sandy beach making this one of the premier vacation destinations on Vancouver Island. Englishman River Falls in Errington has excellent picnic, swimming and hiking as well as two spectacular waterfalls in the midst of the forest. To see a natural bird habitat close up visit Hamilton Marsh for red-winged blackbirds, jays, and swallows and in spring and fall migrations of ducks and geese. Visit nearby underground caves at Horne Lake, do some kayaking or windsurfing and enjoy a round of golf.
