Penticton the “Oasis”
Penticton is a unique oasis in the Okanagan set between two lakes – Okanagan and Skaha. There are plenty of beaches, all different kinds of water conditions, an adjoining canal that boasts one of the best “floatie” experiences in Canada, biking and hiking trails galore, and of course, over 60 wineries within a 20 km radius. This little town has it all!
There are festivals and events planned for pretty much every weekend during the summer, and many of the wineries in the region have special event nights as well.
Plenty of Accomodation
There is camping available only steps to the beach. Hotels and motels abound, and there are also plenty of guest houses and vacation rentals, many on expansive estates on the Naramata wine trail. The airport is right in town and is serviced from both Vancouver and Calgary, so really it is nothing to pop down for a weekend.
