Finding Towel Space at Sun-Oka Provincial Park in the Okanagan


You've been waiting for your summer vacation all year, dreaming at your desk of scenes straight out of a feel-good 80s movie. The day finally comes and the deep blue of lake Okanagan stretches out over 80 miles before you. But wait...where are you going to throw down that newly bought beach towel? Seems the rest of Canada has had the same dream as you! Fear not, your towel can still find a spot to unveil and show off its wit. Head 15 minutes north of Penticton to the Sun-Oka Provincial Park and enjoy the spectacular views back towards the city while shading under the leafy trees. Rest up for the year is long, the name of the park says it all, sun and lake Okanagan, all for you and the resident ducks to enjoy.
