Skaha Beach is often features on the list of the best beaches in Canada. This sweeping 500m long stretch of golden sand is situated at the southern end of the city, offering spectacular views straight down Skaha Lake.

The beach is backed by 21 acres of parkland. This not only provides great separation from the surrounding urban area but also means beach visitors have access to plenty of amenities including several playgrounds, a splash park, tennis courts, volleyball courts, walking paths, a baseball diamond, fire pits and more.

If you want a beach closer to restaurants, bars and breweries, head to Okanagan Lake Beach instead.
