Location
Parksville is located in Oceanside on the sheltered eastern shore of Vancouver Island, 12 km (7.5 miles) south of Qualicum Beach, just 37 km (23 miles) north of Nanaimo on Highway 19, and 150 km (92 miles) north of Victoria. Commercial bus routes service the area, while commercial airlines fly into Nanaimo, 37 km (23 mi.) south of Parksville. BC Ferries depart from Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay ferry terminals in Vancouver, and dock in Nanaimo.

The Oceanside Route (Hwy 19A), is an especially scenic section of the Island Highway system that runs parallel to the Inland Island Highway (Hwy 19). The Oceanside Route follows the coastline north from the Nanoose Bay area, through downtown Parksville and all the way to Campbell River.
