#3 off-the-beaten-path destination

British Columbia

You’re going to love Penticton

One of only two cities in the world located between two lakes, Penticton is an ideal destination if you want to spend time on the water. Head to Okanagan Lake Beach or Skaha Lake Beach to relax on the sand or take a dip. Or head to Sudbury Beach, where you can rent stand-up paddleboards and SUP on the lake.

Hacker tip

Wine lovers, get ready. Penticton boasts more than 80 wineries all in the vicinity of downtown. And if you’re looking to dine al fresco, you’re in luck. 11 patios in Okanagan County made OpenTable’s 100 Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants in Canada for 2019 – three right in Penticton.
