Our Community Spotlight Series lets you learn more about our locals and what they love about living and doing business in Parksville Qualicum Beach. We're thrilled to feature Alcove Homegrown Living as this month's Community Spotlight.
Located in the heart of downtown Qualicum Beach this quaint shop attracts visitors and residents alike. Alcove owner Cheryl Campbell is passionate about supporting local services and artisans by offering a constantly changing selection of locally-curated products in store.
Cheryl describes Parksville Qualicum Beach as a place "filled with natural beauty, wonderful parks, and lovely beaches." She loves walking the trails near her home, including Little Qualicum Falls Park and Wesley Ridge and heading to Mt Washington to ski.
On her days off, you can find Cheryl taking her dog for a walk through the Heritage Forest, grabbing a coffee from Courtyard Coffee or French Press Coffee Roasters with a friend and going to the Qualicum Beach Farmers Market on Saturdays.
On your next visit, Cheryl suggests checking out some of the fantastic restaurants in downtown Qualicum Beach, including De L'île Restaurant and Bistro 694.
