Traveler advice
Getting around
Walk anywhere & everywhere
From our house the longest distance to walk anywhere in town is 2.3kms (The Blind Angler). Almost all walks in Peachland occur lakeside on Okanagan Lake along the Beach Ave walkway.
Don't miss
Peachland Farmers and Crafters Market
The Market takes place on Sundays from May to August, 10AM - 2PM @ Heritage Park. Great place to discover local artisans, food, souvenirs, etc.
Don't miss
Wibit floating waterpark
An absolute blast for kids & kids at heart alike. Daily passes get you access all day (from 10AM - 8PM). Located on the water at the corner of Beach & 13th.
What to pack
Be Lake-Prepared
Bring items to make your "lake life" as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Beach chairs, pop-up sun shelter, inflatable water toys, PFDs, water shoes (Peachland has only rock-beaches), snorkel gear, etc.
