From gift giving to decking the halls, there's already enough planning that needs to be done this week. Let us take some culinary responsibilities off your plate and replace them with our new Festive Four Course Dinner menu at The Landing West Coast Grill!

For only $39.95 per person, guests receive a soup, appetizer, choice of main course (Rotisserie Fresh Turkey or Wild Sockeye Salmon), Dessert and a choice of coffee or tea.  

The menu is for minimum group sizes of four people, and we ask that reservations are made at least 24 hours in advance.

Call now, as the final day for the menu is Friday Dec. 23. View complete festive menu here

Alder Wood Seared Wild Albacore Tuna... Slow Smoked Pork Ribs... Linguine with Mussels & Clams...

A great menu can make it difficult to choose just one main dish. On the other hand, sometimes a smaller portion is simply all you feel like. The Landing West Coast Grill at Pacific Shores is offering dinner and lunch Fall Small Plate Specials, featuring some of our favourite dishes for less, including Ocean Wise and gluten-free items.

All dinner small plate menu options are $15 and all lunch small plate menu options are $10. Take a look! We're sure our small plates will make a big impression.

If you are lucky enough to be in the Oceanside area on July 1st, you are in for a real treat.

Once again this year Parksville is hosting its annual Canada Day festivities. The Rotary Club of Parksville has all sorts of terrific events planned for this year’s celebrations. 

Be sure to bring your appetite as the day starts off with the famous Shriner’s pancake breakfast in the Parksville Community Park. After your tummy is full of pancakes and syrup you can waddle on up the hill and stake out your spot to watch the Canada Day parade.

Once you have finished enjoying the fabulous floats and parade partiers, you can roll on back down the hill to the Community Park to enjoy all of the activities that are planned for the remainder of the day.

Join us at The Landing West Coast Grill on Father's Day, Sunday, June 19 for our special Father's Day Brunch at Pacific Shores Resort & Spa.

Our Father's Day Mimosa Brunch menu includes a two-course meal starting with a Mimosa and our Toasted Granola Parfait, a delectable melange of cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, dried cranberries, sour cherries and blueberries layered with crème fraiche and praline whipped cream. ($8)

You know it’s officially summer in Oceanside when the Seaside Cruizers host their annual Father’s Day Show ‘n Shine.

While this fantastic family friendly event is a must-do for the locals, it also draws crowds from all over Vancouver Island.

Families and car enthusiasts come together to enjoy everything from dancing in the streets to spectacular show-stopping vehicles that will have you running out of adjectives to describe just how gorgeous they are.

For Oceanside visitors looking for something a little different to do while they are in the area, a visit to the Qualicum Beach Airport is definitely worth the drive.

Tucked in between Qualicum and Parksville, the Qualicum Beach Airport is a favorite spot for a Sunday afternoon stopover—and some of the best pie you will ever treat your taste buds to can be found on-site at the Final Approach restaurant. Pilots from all over the Pacific Northwest make the flight over just to touch down and savor the sweet samplings that the crew at the Final Approach offer.
