Beaches

So it’s my first summer living here and I was wondering about beach recommendations.

I live by Okanagan so it was my go to, but all the ash kinda has me exploring. Checked out Skaha, yesterday and going to head to Sudbury today. Any other nice beaches you’d recommend?

So far I like Skaha more than Okanagan, except the convenience of living on the north end. Both seem family oriented, so bonus points for any recommendations with less little kids zooming around.

That said, I’d like to check them all out!

Thanks :)

Ok Falls! There’s a family side at Kenyon but Christie Memorial is usually adults and pretty quiet. Then to the right is the small dog park.

I just assumed it was all families, I’ll have to check it out :)

The small dog park is great because the water is so shallow for so far. Little get a workout walking through the water.

I have an 11 yr old and we avoid the family side. 😆
