The best beaches in the Shuswap - pure white sand beaches, warm water and amazing views. It's about 60 minutes from the house, on a dirt road (be prepared to drive slow). There is an old local pub on the beach that serves great nachos and cocktails (and off-sales liquor). This is a must-see! Pack your sunscreen and umbrella!

This is by far our favorite part of the Lake in the Shuswap (next to Seymour Arm). It's quiet, the water is serene and smooth and has beautiful white sand beaches (just boat right up)! if you have boat we highly recommend avoiding the hustle and bustle of Copper Island and head straight out here. You won't be disappointed.
