Four kilometres of curving, postcard-perfect sand gives the town of Qualicum Beach its name. When the tide is high, sightseers, bikers, hikers, keep to dry ground by utilizing the paved promenade that fronts one of Vancouver Island and BC's most storied beaches. The promenade is lined with picnic tables, shade trees, and more. Go for a swim, rent a kayak, cool down with an ice cream cone, read a book, or just watch the kids have the time of their lives, and golfers will thrill at the experience of playing alongside the shore at the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Course. Wander the pedestrian-friendly streets in the nearby Qualicum Beach downtown core exploring unique shops, bookstores, antique shops, restaurants, outdoor cafes, and galleries.
