Christie Memorial Park
Christie Memorial Park is Okanagan Falls’ largest beach park: over an acre of soft, well-kept sand on the south shore of Skaha Lake, the best place in town to work on a summer tan. Picnic tables and benches are spread through the park for big gatherings, two full-size beach volleyball courts sit on the west side of the beach, and lush grass and large shade trees give you somewhere to escape the sun. The Heritage Walkway runs the entire waterfront and is lit in the evening for a stroll, and there are public washrooms and change rooms, a playground and drinking water. Dogs get their own beach where they can swim; elsewhere in the park pets must be on leash.

Kenyon Park
Kenyon Park is a two-acre family park at the south end of Skaha Lake, and it is built around children: a well-maintained, smooth sandy beach with a shallow shoreline that is safe and fun for kids, the John Bell Playground and a water park. Tennis courts, a picnic area and washrooms round it out. Dogs are allowed on leash in the park but not on the beach.

Vaseux Lake Provincial Park
Vaseux Lake is the Okanagan beach for people who want the lake without the engines: as a Migratory Bird Sanctuary it bans motorized boats, so the beach, which runs the length of the campground and continues along the shore, belongs to swimmers, canoes and kayaks, birds and anglers. A day-use area off the Canadian Wildlife Service parking lot has two picnic tables down a short path to the water, and there are 12 first-come campsites. Facilities are basic: four pit toilets, no flush, and a permanent boil-water advisory. Dogs must stay leashed and out of the beach areas, and there are no lifeguards. Open year-round with the gate closed off-season; accessibility information is available. The 12 sites are first-come, first-served year-round; in the off-season the gate is closed and you walk in from it, with a winter fee and no services.
