Welcome to Penticton!

Penticton, whose name comes from the nsyilxcən word snpintktn, is one of only two cities in the world uniquely positioned between two lakes. Nestled between Okanagan Lake to the north and Skaha Lake to the south, Penticton radiates a vibrant summer atmosphere, where beach culture and water activities reign supreme. The city’s Okanagan and Skaha beaches, spread across nearly 15 acres, are known for their premium sandy shores and inviting waters, perfect for relaxation and adventure alike.

However, Penticton's appeal goes beyond its waters. The city is deeply rooted in agriculture, with over 80 wineries, 8 craft breweries, 2 cideries, and 3 distilleries—all within a short walk or bike ride from the downtown area. This makes Penticton a true haven for those who appreciate both natural beauty and a rich, local culinary scene. Whether you’re looking for outdoor excitement or a taste of the region’s finest wines and foods, Penticton offers a unique blend of experiences set against the stunning backdrop of its dual lakes.
