Canada's Best Beaches - Skaha (Penticton)!

Beautiful long and broad beach fronting shallow warm water. Ample FREE parking at many locations for easy access to the beach and facilities. Marina with boat and water sports rentals, motels and camping make this a favourite beach for many who return yearly. We found Motels right on the beach with rates $135 - 155 per night. Lots of grass areas for picnicking, tennis courts all make this a great beach. The only negative is if the wind comes up the water can become choppy very quickly, on the positive it's great for windsurfing and kiting. Penticton is a more youth and family oriented resort destination then Kelowna.
