About Okanagan Lake Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Okanagan Lake Beach is located at the head of spectacular Okanagan Lake in the city of Penticton. It is perfectly situated along Lakeshore Drive which is one of the Okanagan Valley’s premier vacation spots and it features many beaches and parks as well as resorts, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and shops.

The beach itself features a kilometer of gorgeous sandy beach overlooking Okanagan Lake and its surrounding desert hills and mountains. It has a swimming area, floating docks, children’s slides, shade trees, wheelchair-access ramps, public fire pits, washrooms, and free parking. At the end of the beach is the S.S. Sicamous Museum and Heritage Park, which is a large paddlewheel ferry boat that used to carry passengers up and down Okanagan Lake. Another nearby attraction that the kids might enjoy is the super fun inflatable water park, which allows them to bounce around on the water and climb the obstacle course.

Okanagan Lake Beach is a great place to have a day at the lake and enjoy a family picnic or do some swimming, kayaking, or SUP paddleboarding. Another neat option is to visit one of the many nearby world-class wineries that the Okanagan Valley boasts and grab a bottle and bring it down to the beach for an afternoon drink. Now you making be thinking “but isn’t that illegal in Canada?” and the answer would generally be “Yes!” but recently the city of Penticton decided to go against the grain and legalize public drinking on beaches, which is actually pretty cool. Yay Penticton!
