probably in part due to the playgrounds, washroom facilities, and the excellent water park in City Park. Teens and college students seem to like Gyro Beach on Lakeshore at Richter (and really, who doesn’t love that big red apple concession!). You’ll also find beach volleyball leagues there certain evenings. Personally, I love the off-the-beaten track beaches.
In West Kelowna there’s the beach at the Gellatly Nut Farm, a dog beach at Gellatly Bay nearby (at the mouth of Smith Creek), and perhaps the most “secret” of the area: Kalamoir Park. This last one is a jewel because it incorporates nice private nooks for people to bring lawn chairs. In the Knox Mountain area, many people love Pauls’
Tomb. This quieter bay is great since you have to work for it a little bit. The trail heading there is about 2.7 km long from the first lookout. The water at Pauls’ Tomb is usually crystal clear because the bottom is pebbly. It’s also popular for snorklers who can see a sunken statue of Ogopogo there. Tugboat Bay in Waterfront Park is a sleeper too –
you can’t see it from the road, so you have to know it’s there. It seems generally quieter than other downtown beaches. This beach also has a volleyball net, concession, and washroom facilities. Not to mention a great vibe. For those of us with canine companions, there’s
a dog beach at CedarCreek Beach along Lakeshore Rd. This is a great spot for the pooches to cool off! And the added bonus here is that you can stop at St. Hubertus Winery just above the beach turn-off for a bottle of wine on the way home! Enjoy your beach time, and be sure to bring your
sunscreen! 39
