Things to do, all year.

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

Old Country Market (Coombs)

The market with goats on the roof. A year-round food hall, deli, ice-cream counter, pizza patio and gift shops — the most photographed stop between Nanaimo and Tofino. Heaving in summer; off-peak in shoulder season.
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.
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.
