Parksville is a town located on Vancouver Island some 37 km (23 miles) northwest of Nanaimo. Human habitation has been in this area for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived in the area, the first of which were the Spanish in 1791. Slowly but surely the area became populated later and by 1877 Nelson Parks established the first post office here, giving Parksville its namesake. Tourists from Vancouver and the surrounding area head to Parksville to enjoy its sandy beaches and green lush natural landscape. Make Parksville your next Canadian vacation destination and spend some time outdoors with mother nature. And while you’re here check out these great vacation rentals to stay in Parksville, Canada.
