Okanagan Beach is Penticton’s most popular stretch of sand, located on the northern side of the city. The beach is 1km long, with a designated swimming area and elevated promenade along the full length.

Lakeshore Drive also borders the beach, with half a dozen motels and restaurants on the other side. The beach is widest at the western end, around the historic SS Sicamous sternwheeler.

There are a number of water slides along the shore, as well as a floating platform. During the summer months, an inflatable water park is situated just offshore (admission fees apply) on the west side. The water is pretty shallow so great for kids or just anyone wanting to relax!
