A lovely area featuring walking paths as well as a small wetland/wildlife sanctuary. Beautiful and maintained yearround. Went there today in the middle of some heavy snow and still was able to encounter many ducks as well as a polite trio of deer.

Find more on PinterestWe come almost every year....love this beach...great swimming area, never excessively crowded, and the Tugboat Beach food vendor serves up some delicious hotdogs and frozen lemonade...lots of geese though, so you have to watch your step no matter where you walk...great for people watching and absorbing your vitamin D!
Oh boy, let me tell you about Tugboat Beach in Kelowna! First of all, it's beefcake season all year round—and yes, we love it. The beach is practically a runway for sun-kissed, six-packed, protein-shake-swigging men who look like they walked straight out of a fitness magazine's "Hot or Not?" section. Honestly, the beefcake parade is so consistent, I'm wondering if there's a secret gym hidden in the sand dunes! The water is as clear as my teenage angst and perfect for doing absolutely nothing in, except maybe gawking at the passing parade of muscles. It's the best kind of people-watching if that's your jam, and hey, the view ain't too shabby either! Now, why only four stars, you ask? Well, there's a slight, teensy-weensy issue. The seagulls must've been trained by Hitchcock because they have an uncanny knack for stealing your snacks the second you look away. One minute you're enjoying your poutine, the next it's airborne, destination: Seagull City. So, come for the beefcakes, stay for the laughs, and maybe guard your snacks like they're a secret diary. Four stars!
Overall nice beach, great for boating but huge rocks and very hard to get across if your not use to slippery big rocks and have bad balance... haha
