Parksville is well-known for its large, sandy beaches. It’s long been a tourist destination catering mostly to people from across Vancouver Island as well as Greater Vancouver. Since 1982, the Vancouver Island city has leveraged its greatest assets into Parksville Beachfest, an annual event that is built around Canada’s only World Championship of Sand Sculpting official qualification event.
Parksville is 37 km northwest of Nanaimo, 48 km east of Port Alberni, and seven km kilometres southeast of Qualicum Beach. Tourism remains one of the largest sectors of the city’s economy, largely due to the summer season.
