About Desert Surfside Waterfront Accommodations
Warm water is the entire argument for a summer in Osoyoos, and it is a strong one. The lake here is long, shallow along its edges and unusually warm by Canadian standards, and Desert Surfside Waterfront Accommodations keeps an address at 7310 Main Street, in the thick of the downtown and beach district.
Details can be worked out at 250-495-2228 or through surfside-osoyoos.com. Anyone booking a lakeside stay should get specific about the unit itself: how it sleeps, whether there is a kitchen, what parking looks like if a trailer is involved, and how the season affects minimum stays. Peak weeks in July and August behave very differently from late September, when the days are still warm, the water is still swimmable and the town has emptied out considerably.
The setting is genuinely unusual. This is the bottom of the Okanagan, hard against the border, in country dry enough to be called desert, with sagebrush and antelope brush on the hills and irrigated vineyards and orchards on the flats below. Interpretive sites run by conservation groups and the local First Nation explain that landscape to visitors who arrived expecting ordinary lake country. Between the beach, the benches and the short drive south to the crossing, there is more packed within ten minutes of Main Street than most people expect from a town this size.
