The Itinerary

Vancouver Island's east coast, between Nanaimo and Comox, offers beaches, winter surf and the Mount Washington ski resort. Ideal for combining sea and mountain in one day.

Nanaimo serves the famous local Nanaimo Bar dessert and a seawall trail. Qualicum Beach and Parksville are family beach towns (golden sand, shallow water). Cumberland has become a world MTB hub. Mount Washington (1,588 m) gets the world's heaviest snowfall — 12 m/year.
