The Guide | The Ultimate Kelowna Destination Guide
Stephanie
Kelowna is a stunning lakeside town in the Lake Okanagan region. As a Californian, I introduce Kelowna as a heavenly place that is like Napa and Lake Tahoe combined — and you'll see just why with this thoughtful guide!
This post is filled with trip details, Google Map locations, and personal tips from my own experience to maximize your time in Kelowna.

Beaches
Ah, relaxation. Is there anything better than spending a sunny day on the beach, tucking your toes into soft waves? Kelowna has so many great public beaches to visit. I was surprised to learn that there are no private beaches in Canada (I live in the US, so go figure!), as there are many beautiful homes tucked right up on the water. Many of these beaches have public facilities, clean landscaping/hardscaping, and terrific views across the lake. Here are some of the most popular beaches, and the ones I enjoyed.
Boyce-Gyro Beach Park

This public beach has a playground, including a short zip line and sand volleyball courts!

One of my favorite parks, as it serves gorgeous wide views of downtown and West Kelowna. Ps. I got engaged here!

Kalamoir Regional Park

Easy to hard. A choose your own adventure park! Easy waterfront trail, or take the harder one with drop offs. Follow the maps to prevent getting lost in the nearby neighborhoods. On the west side, this park has several trails for all levels including the waterfront area by the parking lot.

California-based Adventurer & Travel Designer. For over a decade, I explored systemic connections in Canada, Malawi, The Netherlands, Beijing, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and the Bay Area. I fell in love with traveling while looking for a career that acknowledges and expands the status quo through intentionally designed experiences. Now I choose to do work that guides people into deeper connection with themselves, their work, and others.
Aside from my work, I’m an amateur ceramicist, casual interior designer and gravel biker, intense Google Sheets and Notion template maker, and avid book reader. As often as I can, I’m off the grid backpacking internationally, or taking a campervan across US National Parks!
I am always up for an adventure, a life-changing conversation, and partnering on work that leaves the planet 🌍 better than we found it.
