The Kelowna Waterfront Boardwalk is a beautiful lakeside pathway that stretches along the shore of Okanagan Lake, connecting several popular attractions in downtown Kelowna. Perfect for a scenic walk, bike ride, or leisurely stroll, the boardwalk offers views of the lake, mountains, and surrounding cityscape, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the area.

City Park and Hot Sands Beach: Starting near City Park, visitors can enjoy the sandy shores of Hot Sands Beach, which is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or simply relaxing on the beach. This area is lively in the summer, with volleyball courts, a splash park for kids, and picnic areas.

Tugboat Bay Beach and Lagoon: Farther along the boardwalk, you’ll come across Tugboat Bay Beach, a smaller, quieter beach with a calm lagoon. It’s an ideal spot for paddleboarding, kayaking, or watching the sunset.

Public Art and Sculptures: Kelowna’s waterfront features several public art installations and sculptures, including the iconic Spirit of Sail sculpture. These pieces celebrate the city’s connection to the lake and provide unique photo opportunities.

Marina and Waterfront Dining: The boardwalk passes by Kelowna’s marina, where you can watch boats coming and going. Nearby, several restaurants and cafes offer lakeside dining, including popular spots like Cactus Club Café and Eldorado Resort for dining with a view.

Kasugai Gardens: A short walk from the boardwalk, Kasugai Gardens is a peaceful Japanese-style garden with koi ponds, lush greenery, and serene pathways. It’s a lovely spot for reflection and relaxation.
