Things to do, all year.

Beaches, trails, rainy-day picks — the stuff that doesn't have a date on it.
Falls

Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park

A 3.6 km loop along the Little Qualicum River that drops through a chain of waterfalls. The route is rooty, well-marked, and has multiple viewing platforms. Trailhead car-park is on the highway between Qualicum Beach and Port Alberni.
Beach

Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park

Three kilometres of sand flats and long shallow shorelines that warm up at low tide — one of the warmest swimming beaches on Vancouver Island. Camping, picnic shelters, and one of the longest off-leash dog beaches on the coast.
Gallery

McMillan Arts Centre (The MAC)

A heritage farmhouse hosting a year-round gallery, a box office for regional concerts and Beachfest, plus open-mic Tuesdays and pottery workshops. The centre of the Parksville arts scene.
