Parksville Dining
Dining at Beach Club, Oceanside Tourism photo
Don't be misled by the string of fast-food joints that line Highway 19A (the Oceanside Route) on the eastern outskirts of Parksville. The region is packed with a truly diverse range of all-budget independent dining establishments – some secreted away in oceanside resorts and on backcountry roads, others clustered in the heart of town.
Coffee Shops
Independent coffee shops in Parksville include the Pacific Brimm, and the funky Cha C'ha Java (which has its own in-house coffee roaster). Free internet access available at both.
Casual Fare
For casual or picnic fare, check out Rod & Gun, an 1898 pub with adjoining patio on a quiet stretch of the Alberni Highway (aka Highway #4A) in the town centre, Bugsy's Bar & Grill (322 West Island Highway), or Stewart's on Harrison Ave.
