Off-leash Dog Beaches in the Okanagan

| Off-leash dog beaches you should check out when in the Okanagan |

This summer we got a new fur baby and now that she is fully vaccinated, we are in search of off-leash dog beaches to take her to! We love getting out and exploring the Okanagan and the goal is to hit every off-leash dog beach from Osoyoos to Vernon in the next year.

We’ve searched out the municipal websites to find out where all the off-leash dog beaches are and once we have taken our Poppy to them, we will add a personal note about each beach.

Whether you are a local looking to take your pup to a new place or a tourist passing through the Okanagan, we hope you find this list helpful! If we have missed anything, let us know in the comments below.
