See what our fans have been saying so far!

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!

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.

Analusia Von Schilling Shields - LOVE the relaxing, anyway you choose to do it!

Diane Cook - Love Pacific Shores... so relaxing there.

Neil King - Pacific Shores is great. Steps from our room was the beach, the kids explored for hours. Grab a kayak, and you can paddle forever in water that you can still stand in. If you go into town, the park is amazing, the kids went wild. Our kids were so tired every night they barely made it to bedtime. Grab some seafood from the local store and cook it in the well-appointed kitchen.
