The place to be
Located at the southern point of Okanagan Lake in Penticton, Okanagan Lake Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches in the valley. The beach itself stretches for a kilometre, boasting a picturesque sandy shoreline that overlooks the serene Okanagan Lake, framed rolling mountains and stunning landscapes. Running parallel with Lakeshore Drive, this is undoubtedly one of the most popular places to spend a hot summer day in the South Okanagan.
Amenities
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick dip or plan on spending a day in the sun, this is a great place to do so. Public washrooms, a clean, sandy beach, grassy areas, and large shade trees make this an ideal place to relax. Shops, cafes, and restaurants are located just steps away from the beach, and the infamous Penticton Wibit is great for letting the kids burn off their energy.
Activities
Okanagan Beach is the perfect locale for a leisurely day by the lake, whether it involves a family picnic, swimming, kayaking, or SUPing. Within the designated swimming area you’ll find floating socks and kiddie slides, something for every age to enjoy. Located just a few hundred meters north of the beach is Pier Water Sports – the go-to place for all of your watersport rental needs, both motorized and non-motorized watercraft.
Parking
You’ll find ample parking available along Lakeshore Drive, all of which is free. Keep in mind that this strip can get very busy in the summer, so if you want a parking spot, we recommend arriving early.
