The main attractions of this park are its majestic sandy beaches.

Some Ideas for Places to Stay
- Parksville
- Qualicum Beach
- Ucluelet and Tofino are not recommended as we feel that they are expensive and not particularly pleasant tourist towns.
In the Area
- The road from the east coast to the Long Beach unit of the Pacific Rim National Park makes a very pleasant drive.
