Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Qualicum Bay cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Qualicum Bay vary, but you can find a great deal from £61 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Qualicum Bay is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Qualicum Bay for beaches is along the scenic beachfront stretch of Highway 19A, particularly around the Qualicum Beach town centre.

This area is renowned for its expansive, sandy beaches great for leisurely strolls and seaside relaxation. The main promenade, running parallel to the beach, offers easy access to the shore and features amenities like public washrooms and picnic areas. You'll find a selection of accommodations directly across from the ocean, many offering direct beach access or stunning sea views. The town centre itself is just a short walk away, where you can find local shops and eateries.

This location is particularly appealing for couples looking for a tranquil coastal escape. The long, flat beach provides an ideal setting for romantic walks at sunset, and many hotels in this area cater to a relaxed, adult-focused experience. You're also well-placed for exploring the nearby Qualicum Beach Farmers Market on Saturdays, offering local produce and crafts.

Families will also find this area highly suitable. The gentle slope of the beach and the generally calm waters make it a nice spot for children to play and swim.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Qualicum Bay?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Qualicum Bay is during July and August, when the summer weather is at its finest. Temperatures typically range from 20°C to 25°C, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the sandy beaches, swimming in the calm waters, and exploring the coastal trails. The long, sunny days make it superb for families to spend extended periods outdoors, building sandcastles or trying out paddleboarding. You'll find a lively option around the waterfront areas, with many local shops and restaurants fully operational and often hosting special summer events.

For a slightly different, yet equally rewarding, experience, June is a fantastic alternative. While still offering beautifully pleasant weather, with temperatures usually hovering around 18°C to 22°C, it presents a wonderful opportunity to find better value on premium beach hotel rooms and it can be easier to secure reservations for popular local activities.

What beach activities should we do in Qualicum Bay?

This is the great time for beachcombing, where you can often find interesting shells, sand dollars, and even small crabs. The main beach area, easily accessible from the town centre along Highway 19A, has public washrooms and picnic spots. It's an excellent spot for families to spend an afternoon building sandcastles and exploring the tidal pools.

Both families and couples will find plenty to enjoy along Qualicum Bay's beaches.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Qualicum Bay as a package?

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
