Beaches
this is a nice beach if you want to enjoy a long stretch of sandy beach with a dock you can jump off of.
This is one of the most popular beach spots in Vernon so it does get very busy in the summer.
parking can be a bit tricky, you have to park across the street off of Husband road and take the rainbow cross walk to the beach.
there is a little food stand right on the beach as well as the rail trail café down the street for food and drinks. Alexander's pub is a sit down restaurant/pub serving classic pub food and alcohol.

this beach is a bit further from our place. it is on Lake Okanagan so the water is a little cooler. lots of ducks and geese at this beach so the water can sometimes be a bit murkier. there is lots of parking, a big grassy area and a playground at this beach. as well as bathrooms.
if you keep going down the road, you'll find lakeshore park/beach.
and further down Tronson, there is paddlewheel park/beach. we like this one because the water is a bit nicer and it also has a playground, lots of shade. Sand at Paddlewheel has lots of coal in it so prepare to get kind of dirty from it.
