Parksville, Vancouver Island

This breathtaking spot is a short drive from Victoria and well worth it! The glorious views of the snow capped mountains in the background of a sandy beach setting are to die for. You feel like you were transported to another Country.  Not minutes outside of  Victoria. While we were there (end of July) we had a chance to take in the sandcastle festival.  Except for a small donation request, this event is free to view. Teams from all over the world compete in this annual competition. The creations will take your breath away.  They are true works of art. It is amazing what some people are able to create out of sand. If I only had the skill and imagination!

    Qualicum Beach is 8 minutes beyond Parksville and even more awesome! Better small village appeal and better beach - but only when the tide is down.

    Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion! You are right. Quallicum is an awesome Beach. I had a chance to visit it too and would highly recommend it!
