Lantzville BC is located on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, just north of Nanaimo and south of Parksville.

Lantzville was originally known as Grant's Mine and was part of the town of Nanoose, but in 1920 an American company with a director named Mr. Lantz bought the mine and so the town became Lantzville. As coal mining ended, the town became part of the summer cottage area along the beautiful Island shoreline.

Lantzille has a small town charm and there are a number of beaches and parks. Lantzville accommodations include bed and breakfasts as well as hotels, motels, resorts and campgrounds in the vicinity.
