When the tide is high, sightseers, bikers, hikers and their dogs 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, a wash/change room, and lots of parking.
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.
Qualicum Beach is also known for the famous ocean mile swim, and golfers will thrill at the experience of playing alongside the shore at the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Course.
