Grab a drink at the Hooded Merganser lounge. The semi-formal atmosphere and lakeside setting make it a perfect pre-sunset stop. Be sure to make a reservation in summer.

Walk to The Peach. This giant peach-shaped concession stand is one of the most photographed spots in town. Arrive before the sun dips below the horizon to capture the best light against the structure.

Stroll along Marina Way Park. It is a short walk from The Peach and offers a peaceful place to watch the light fade over the water.

Dine at Salty's Beach House. This favourite for tourists and locals features an open kitchen downstairs and one of the best patios in the Okanagan to watch the world pass by as night falls.
Local tip
The Hooded Merganser requires reservations in summer, so book ahead. Salty's is busy, so arriving early for dinner ensures you get a spot on the patio.
