When it’s time to dry off, visit Parksville’s own craft brewery, Mount Arrowsmith Brewing, or drop by Love Shack Libations in friendly, laidback Qualicum Beach.Ī short side trip west takes you past the quaint town of Coombs, where goats munch on grass on the roof of the Old Country Market, and through Cathedral Grove, a spectacular stand of old growth trees that will awe and inspire any visitor. As the tide rolls in over sun-warmed sand, the shallow water is perfect for swimming and splashing.
When the tide is out at Parksville’s Rathtrevor Beach, the ocean recedes almost a kilometre (half a mile), revealing clean sand and fascinating tidal pools that teem with marine life. The sheltered stretch of coastline north of Nanaimo is home to some of the province’s most spectacular beaches. These cities and towns share many common values - independence, creativity, a love of nature - but each has its own flavour and style, making any visit to this region a worthwhile and satisfying endeavour. This ale trail encompasses the middle of the Island, including Parksville-Qualicum Beach, Port Alberni, the Comox Valley, and Campbell River.
Vancouver Island is a big place, home to diverse landscapes, cultural groups and communities. Experience craft beer culture interwoven with natural beauty, agricultural splendour and some of Vancouver Island’s most spectacular beaches on the BC Ale Trail.
