Many other beaches are available within a 15 - 30 minute drive, depending upon your preferences. If you are interested in fishing, there are plenty of excellent areas within a short drive.A great hiking/walking trail is located across the street. Plenty more hiking/biking opportunities exist in the Okanagan Area. In particular, the Kettle Valley Railway trail is a great experience.
