Eat
Salty's Beach House
A favourite for tourists and locals. Salty's has two floors: Downstairs is the main dining area where you can watch the cooks work in the open kitchen, or watch the world pass by on one of the best patios in the Okanagan, Upstairs is the Black Pearl lounge and oyster bar, featuring signature martinis and a variety of fresh raw oysters. Worth seeing is the collection of 'pirate' paintings hanging on the walls. The owner likes to crank reggae music. Menu includes salads, outstanding appetizers, pasta, pizza, chicken, steak, fresh fish, and for the indulgent, crab & lobster. Make sure you have reservations, as the lineup can queue well down the block at peak times in the summer. Most times a short wait will reward you with a seat. Menu available online.

Coyote Cruises
If you don't have your own flotation device or can't arrange transport, Coyote Cruises is a convenient way to go. They provide tube rentals (good to the halfway point of the channel only) and operate a shuttle bus service to transport you back to the parking area on the north side of town.
10AM-5PM$6 for tube rental or transport, $12 for both
