Kelowna
Kelowna is the largest city in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and it offers all the urban amenities and entertainment that you require while still in a resort-town setting. But the charm of rural living so close to an urban centre is what visitors will truly fall in love with.
Hot summers make you want to water ski, cruise the lake, sun bathe, ride the water slides, go cycling, hiking, camping, fishing, or just read a good book in the shade. There are 12 golf courses in Kelowna, five of which are ranked as championship courses all within a short drive from the City, and over 50 courses in the region to explore.
Penticton
A four-season paradise close to sandy beaches, fish-filled lakes, ski hills, orchards, wineries and golf courses, it enjoys more than 2,000 hours of sunshine a year thanks to its semi-arid climate.
The community is known for its long-running annual Peach Festival, world-class rock climbing on Skaha Bluffs and myriad, water-oriented recreational opportunities.
Salmon Arm
Recreational attractions and activities, scenic beauty, and a vibrant downtown area, make exploring Salmon Arm part of your summer vacation. Experience everything from water related sports, 18-hole golf courses, mountain biking and hiking.
Vernon
Vernon overlooks three lakes, so summertime here is very water-oriented. You can fish, kayak, swim and scuba dive. You can even rent a houseboat and have all your supplies delivered to you on Kalamalka, Okanagan or Mabel Lake.
Other things to do in summer include hiking, golfing on one of 15 nearby courses, rock climbing, canoeing, Heritage Walking Tours, winery tours, boat cruises, sports tournaments and relaxing on one of the many local beaches.
