Outdoors

Perhaps the best thing to do in Penticton is to join the locals at the beach, and enjoy the blisteringly hot summer sun. Okanagan Beach follows pretty much the entirety of Lakeshore Drive on Okanagan Lake, and is generally the more family oriented beach. Skaha Beach to the south on Skaha Lake is where Penticton's younger crowd go to see and be seen. Sudbury Beach and Airport Beach are also on Skaha Lake, located west of Skaha Beach on the south side of Highway 97 (Caution: Sudbury is used as a kitesurf launch during the off-season.). Three Mile Beach is a good bet when the crowds at the other beaches are getting you down. Located just north of town, follow Naramata Road north, turn left at Three Mile Road, and follow down to the lake. If you walk along the beach to the north you will find an unofficial nudist area.

Golfers will find themselves at home, with four golf courses in the city limits, and several more just beyond:

• Pine Hills/Sage Mesa, 3610 Pine Hill Drive, +1 250 492-5731. Two different 18 hole courses set high on a plateau overlooking Penticton and the lakes.
• Pleasant Valley, 1701 Penticton Avenue, +1 250 492-6988, [24]. This little par three course that is tucked away in a hidden valley is popular with the duffers. $11 for 9 holes; $20 for 18.
• Penticton Golf and Country Club, 600 Comox St, +1 250 492-5626, [25]. Don't let the name fool you, the public is welcome. $27 for 9 holes; $50 for 18.
• Skaha Meadows, Highway 97 South (just past the airport), +1 250 492-7274. Penticton's newest course is a 9 hole par 35.
• Mini Golf, 75 Riverside (just steps from the S.S. Sicamous), [26]. Family-friendly outdoor mini golf course. Adults $8, children $6.

Rock climbers will want to check out the renowned Skaha Climbing Bluffs [27] located adjacent to Skaha Lake on the southern edge of the city. Access is controlled and a daily access fee is charged to hike into the bluffs, see [28] for maps and details. "Skaha" as it is known among climbers, has over four hundred established routes with a near equal split of traditional (gear) and sport (fixed bolt) lines that range between 5.6 and 5.13b. An excellent guide book [29] is available locally and provides a map, directions, and grades (Yosemite).

Cyclists and hikers will want to visit the stunning Kettle Valley Trail which follows the old railway grade from Penticton through Naramata's bench wineries, and farther along, a system of tunnels and trestles leading all the way to Castlegar and beyond, some several hundreds of kilometers. Part of the Trans-Canada Trail [30] which bills itself as the longest recreational trail in the world. You can also travel the railway grade on the opposite side of the lake 10km to Summerland which is gatewayed by the dramatic Trout Creek Railway Trestle, the highest in British Columbia.

Another traditional pastime in Penticton is floating down the River Channel, which is a small shallow river that flows south from Okanagan Lake to Skaha Lake. This leisurely trip takes from 2 to 3.5 hours depending on water levels in the channel. Be sure to bring sunscreen or you will burn up! Coyote Cruises (215 Riverside, +1 250 492-2115) operates a shuttle bus service to transport you back to the parking area on the north side of town. They also provide tube rentals if you don't have your own. Free, $11 for raft and transportation.

Festivals

Penticton is also a city of events and festivals. Indeed, in the summer there is rarely a time when there isn't some sort of festival going on. Dates and venues can change from year to year, check the websites for current information. A brief survey of the major festivals includes:

• Okanagan Fest-of-Ale [31](early April). This two day festival pairs local breweries with local restaurants to show off their wares alongside live entertainment. Hundreds of locals volunteer for the free beer.
• Penticton Elvis Festival [32] (Late June). Despised by some of the locals, and criticized due to prohibitive costs, this festival brings the best of the best of Elvis impersonators to town. Some free events.
• Peach City Beach Cruise [33] (late June). This crowd favorite brings over 400 hot-rods and classic cars from all over North America to Lakeshore Drive. The road is closed to normal traffic allowing close up views of the cars. At night some of the drivers put on a smoke show to the delight of the crowd, though police seem to be cracking down on this lately. Lasts three days.
• Penticton Highland Games [34] (early July). Come watch the caber toss and other heavy events accompanied by traditional Scottish pipes, drumming, and dancing. If you have what it takes you can register and compete.
• Beach Blanket Film Festival [35] (late July). This unique festival invites people to lay down a blanket on the beach, bring a picnic and watch films on a floating screen in Okanagan Lake.
• Peachfest [36] (August). Long since stripped of its 'party get drunk' image of the past, Peachfest is now an event to be enjoyed by the entire family. Includes arts/crafts exhibits, food and drink, live entertainment, parades, fireworks and much more.
• Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival [37] (mid September). Various venues host live Dixieland, Jive, Swing, and other forms of Jazz music.
• Okanagan Fall Wine Festival [38] (September-October). More of an 'Okanagan' festival than a Penticton one. Many wine-diner pairings featuring local wineries and restaurants, stretching from Osoyoos (at the US/Canada border) to Vernon at the northern end of Lake Okanagan. Several of these take place in Penticton.
• Okanagan Pirate Party [39] (July-August). Also, more of an 'Okanagan' festival than a Penticton one. A great annual festival devoted to all things pirate. Be prepared to spend a good day on the hunt for treasure!

Boating, sailing and watersports

With two lakes ten minutes apart, Penticton is a great place to bring your boat if you have one. While you cannot boat from lake to lake, they both have launches and marinas for fuel and supplies.

Winter

In winter, your best bet is to spend some time up at the local ski hill Apex Alpine. Apex is about a 45 minute drive from town west on Green Mountain Road. You can also come cheer on the Penticton Vees BCHL hockey team, go for a skate or play some pick-up at the indoor McLaron Park Arena, or if the weather is cooperative, play a round of golf right through the year.

• The S.S. Sicamous, 1099 Lakeshore Drive West (the west end of Lakeshore Drive), +1 250 492-0403, mail@sssicamous.com, [11]. 9AM-9PM in high summer, shorter hours at other seasons. This paddlewheeler was the last commercial ship to operate on Okanagan Lake. Built in 1914 and retired in 1936, the large ship now spends its days drydocked on the edge of Okanagan Lake. The ship is open daily for tours in the summer, and includes a large HO scale model railway on the main deck, depicting the local Kettle Valley Railway. The smaller S.S. Naramata rests just behind the Sicamous. Adults $5, children 5-12 $1, children 4 and under free.

• The Peach is a concession stand located at the foot of Winnipeg Street on Okanagan Lake shaped and painted as a giant peach. While it isn't that interesting in and of itself, it has an interesting history and is one of the most photographed spots in town. Film buffs may recognize it from the movie My American Cousin which was filmed in the Penticton Area. Note that this is actually the second Peach, as the first was pushed into the lake during the 1990 Peachfest riot (Note: The riot was an isolated incident, Penticton is really quite safe).

• Munson Mountain Park is home to the large 'Penticton' sign (a la 'Hollywood') that greets travelers coming in to town from the north. The sign was created with thousands of small white stones. The original stones have since been replaced with letters made of concrete. The park itself affords visitors with stunning 360 degree panoramas of the South Okanagan valley. To get there head east on Vancouver Ave. and follow the signs.

• Penticton Ironman Triathlon, [12]. The last Sunday in August sees Penticton pretty much shutdown as everyone moves to Lakeshore and Main Street to watch the thousands of competitors in this gruelling event. The triathlon includes a 3.86km (2.4mi) swim, 180km (112mi) bike, and finally, a full marathon of 42.2km (26.2mi). The professionals complete this in 8-10 hours. The event is often chosen as the Canadian championship for this sport.

Open to the public year round. Worth a visit just to see the grounds, with vintage stone walls and a relaxing gazebo. Free.

Wineries and Viticulture

The immediate Penticton area has many wineries, and indeed more seem to spring up everyday. The terroir of the Naramata Bench [14] is considered the premier wine growing region of British Columbia for its climate and geography (though growers in the Golden Mile region of Oliver to the south may disagree). The popularity of this relatively new industry has driven the price of local products well over the price of a comparable French or Italian bottle. Most wineries offer free tastings and tours, and will almost certainly sell their products directly. To be sure of the best quality look for bottles that sport the VQA [15] designation, which ensures authenticity of origin, and a minimum standard of quality during grape growth, harvest, and production.

• D'Angelo Estate Winery, 979 Lochore Rd, +1 250 493-1364 [16]. Also has production in the Niagara wine region of Ontario, this winery has won over 60 awards since the first harvest in 1989. Bistro and bed-and-breakfast onsite.

• Hillside Estate Winery, 1350 Naramata Road, +1 250 493-6274 [17]. It was the original owners of this winery that lobbied the British Columbia government to allow boutique wineries to sell their products to the public, spurring this huge growth industry. Bistro and gift shop on site.

• Red Rooster Winery, 891 Naramata Road, +1 250 492-2424 [22].

• Spiller Estate Winery , 475 Upper Bench Road, +1 250 490-4162, toll free +1 800 610-3794 [23]. This winery, that is just as famous for their onsite bed and breakfast, produces top-notch fruit infused dessert wines.

Nightclubs

There are only three in town and they are all pretty much the same. Loud top-40 music and the occasional live show. Covers are reasonable: $2-$7, more if there is a special event. Smoking is prohibited in all bars, but the three nightclubs have separate smoking rooms. The clubs start to get busy between 11PM and midnight in the summer. You may want to show up early to avoid the queue. If one is empty, try another, as all three are within walking distance of each other, and business generally depends on the nightly drink special. This doesn't apply as much in the summer when all three are generally packed. At 2:30AM hundreds of drunken revelers pour out into the streets, causing a large police presence to keep the peace. Do not taunt the police unless you want to spend a night in the drunk tank! (Hint: you don't).

• Blue Mule, 218 Martin. The Blue Mule used to be a country bar, but they changed the format to get more business several years ago. You may still hear a few country songs throughout the night however. The Mule seems to be the most popular these days. Wednesday nights feature $2 highballs, the locals buy triples in a mini-jug to avoid long bar lineups. Three bars plus table service. This is one of the best clubs in town. It is famous for its smiles and music of all styles. The service is great and the bar is clean. Anyone from 19-99 will feel very welcome there. Usually a $2 dollar cover charge at the door. The best security team in town mixed with the hottest and fastest servers and bartenders all to the beat of the D.J. makes for the perfect place to go and have a night to memember.
• Element, 500 block Main Street. One of the oldest in town, the Element changed it's name from Tiffany's years ago. Sometimes has special events such as live shows, ladies night, and foam parties. Fridays feature 75 cent highballs but the low prices can attract riff-raff. Two bars plus table service. Lots of chrome and leather.
• Night Moves, 333 Main Street. This nightclub seems to be more popular with the 19-23 crowd. Two bars plus table service. Night moves has the largest dance floor of the three. If you want to play pool you must endure the smoking room.
