Directions

All this information is on the Alders Website which I have reattached at the bottom...yeah.

The Alders Beach Resort is located in the village of Merville, British Columbia, on the east coast of Vancouver Island. Merville is situated 12km (7.5 miles) north of Courtenay (or 34km (21 miles) south of Campbell River) and is part of the Comox Valley Regional District.

By Vehicle
Courtenay is 107 km (66 miles) north of Nanaimo and 220 km (137 miles) north of Victoria on the new island Highway #19, which bypasses the coastal communities from Parksville to Courtenay. Visitors can also take the "Old Island Highway" - Oceanside Highway #19A, which is much more scenic but takes 45-60 minutes longer, depending on traffic.

If you are on the faster Highway #19 freeway, follow it north to exit 117, signed as "Cumberland Courtenay Comox." At the foot of the exit off ramp bear right onto Comox Valley Parkway. Follow the parkway through the lights at Cumberland road and continue approximately 7 km (4.5 miles) to Courtenay. You'll pass a several gravel pits along the way. Once you reach Courtenay, turn left at the T junction and traffic light onto Cliffe Avenue.

Cliffe is also Highway 19A. You will wind up feeding right onto Cliffe if you choose to take the slower Oceanside Highway 19A route into Courtenay. You'll follow 19A for most of the remainder of your trip to The Alders.

Travel through Courtenay by continuing along Cliffe. On your left hand side you'll pass Driftwood Mall and a number of stores. This is a good place to stop if you're looking for groceries or a sand pail.

Continue to follow the signs for 19A by turning right onto 17th street and crossing the swing bridge over the Puntledge river. Once you're over the bridge turn left, following the signs labelled "Campbell River & Port Hardy." Continue to follow these signs through town, past the large green supermarket, bearing right at the sign for Campbell River. Do not follow the signs for Comox.

Once through Courtenay, climb the short hill out of town, past the small church and continue along the "oceanside route." Continue north to the village of Merville. Merville is approximately 12 km (7.5 miles) north of Courtenay on highway #19A. When you see the Merville Esso station and General Store on the left, continue another 1.6 km (1 mile) along the highway and then take your first right turn onto Williams Beach Road.

The Alders Beach Resort is approximately 6 km (3.7 miles) down Williams Beach Road. The road forks at one point - stay to your left.. and in a few bends and turns of the road you'll be at the oceanside. Welcome to The Alders!

Friday June 25

Come up and join us at the Alders as soon as you can on Friday afternoon! It is a beautiful spot, and a lovely place to relax and chat.

We will be providing a "Gourmet BBQ" with all the gourmet fixins, so all you need to bring is your own beverages, and an appetite for some serious smore action. The BBQ will begin around 6:00-7:00 depending on the hunger levels, people numbers, and chefs readiness!

We are getting very excited to see you all!

Cabin Organization

If you see your name in bolded letters it means you are responsible for gathering funds from your cabin people to pay for the cabin. The cabin cost will be split between the amount of people in your cabin, so good idea to bring cash or blank check. The price that is listed is per night. If you have any issues please let me know, or if I have mucked it up some how and put you twice or not at all please let me know.

The Alders is completely booked starting Sunday, so we will have to vacate the cabins somewhat early, but can hang out on the property drinking coffees, etc. as long as we want.

More info about the weekend coming, stay tuned.
