Okanagan Beach Penticton Canada

Okanagan British Columbia Best Beaches

One of our favorite beaches in the valley is Okanagan Beach in the city of Penticton, and it's also one of the Okanagan's best beach towns.

Okanagan beach is backed by cozy Penticton motels all along Lakeshore Drive near the downtown area. The Penticton Lakeside Resort rests alongside the beach, which is the main hotel in the city offering hotel accommodations and casino.

The Penticton River Channel launch site is also a hop skip and jump away.

Lakawana waterpark & playground, ice cream shops, a bike rental shop, Loco Landing Adventure Mini Golf, the Penticton Rose Garden and a skateboard park are all either along the beach or within a blocks walking distance.

The soft, light sandy Okanagan beach is about a mile long and runs along Lakeshore Drive from the SS Sicamous sternwheeler and Riverside park to the Penticton Lakeside Resort & Casino on the east side of Lake Okanagan.

One of the nicest things about Penticton are the motels along Okanagan beach. They are convenient, cozy, not too costly!

Close to everything including the Penticton River Channel, downtown Penticton, and Gryo Park (where many local events happen).

Depending on how long you're staying, you can sometimes get a discount for longer bookings. Some motels in Penticton offer monthly rates, and cheaper rates for winter vacations.

Within walking disatnace of the beach, you'll find a new shopping plaza that has local fresh fruit and vegetable market, a meat shop for fresh meats, and basically everything you need to prepare meals in your suite.

Many have inground pools on the motel premisis. During the summer months you can expect to pay about $130 and up daily. Off season rates are often better.

And generally you can find motel suites from twin, to bachelor to one and two bedroom suites with kitchenettes.

There are many other motels in Penticton more centrally located, as well as several motels on the south end of the city near Skaha Beach.

The nice thing about motels, rather than hotels, is that you can save on meals by buying your own groceries, like fresh fruit and vegetables at summer farmers markets and local orchard and fruit stands and eat in rather than always having to eat out. For kids, it's easy to make sure they eat well and stay healthy on vacation.
