About Bikini Village
Swimwear shopping in the Okanagan has an obvious season and an obvious reason: the lake. Kelowna's whole city frontage is beaches and waterfront parks, and from the first genuinely hot week onward the need for something to swim in becomes immediate. Bikini Village keeps a Kelowna floor at 2271 Harvey Avenue, over on the Dilworth side, at an address shared by a great many other businesses.
Fit is the entire exercise with swimwear, and sizing rarely matches what you wear elsewhere, so leave time to try several. Separates sold as tops and bottoms let you mix sizes, which solves a problem a one piece cannot. Coverups, sun shirts and beach bags usually sit alongside the racks. Phoning 250-448-6041 first is the way to check whether a style or a size is on hand before you commit to the drive over.
Stock in this trade arrives early and thins out fast. By the time the valley reaches its hottest weeks the best of the selection has often gone, so shopping in spring beats shopping in August. Warm weather runs long here, well past the point when most people stop looking, which is worth remembering when the end of season racks come out and the crowds have thinned back to residents again.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
