Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park

Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park is a lakeside park with sandy shoreline on Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. The property includes swimming areas, wooded sections with mature cottonwoods, and a creek that flows into the lake.

The park was first called Claybanks Beach Park before becoming an official provincial protected area in 1969. This designation preserved the natural habitats along the lake for the future.

Families gather at the shoreline to swim and picnic throughout the summer season. The old cottonwood trees along the water shape how people experience and use this lakeside space.

The park has walking paths, picnic tables, restrooms, and parking near the main entrance for easy access. Plan your visit on warm days when the lake water is inviting for swimming.

The park protects a rare habitat for northern orioles and Lewis's woodpeckers, bird species uncommon in this region. Spotting these birds while exploring the park offers visitors a memorable wildlife experience.
