Vernon BC Beach Issues:

Sharing the Public Beaches while Being a Good Neighbour

Most Vernonites are generous and welcoming people, however on some Public Lake Access beaches you may encounter some locals who do not wish you to the public to use the "public" access beaches. Occasionally some locals need to be politely reminded that the beaches are for the public to use. Don't be disrespectful of the public beach accesses by being too noisy, littering, or drinking alcohol (smoking pot) in public. Some of the home owners near the public access do have their stories of people acting like idiots at the beach. Enjoy the beach but respect their privacy.

Glass or garbage:

On rare occasions you may encounter glass or garbage on a beach. A clean beach will generally stay cleaner, so please help our city by picking up any garbage.

More Sand at Kin Beach:

Kin Beach is too steep and needs a significant amount of sand added to make the beach more attractive.

Better Parking:

More parking is needed at the Public Lake Access points, so please call Vernon City Council and encourage better public parking. Don't park in private lanes or block access for local folks since this is rude and only leads to additional lobbying for restricted access to these access points.

Beach Bus:

Some Vernonites have dreamed of a beach bus from the downtown core which would stop at the many beaches in the Vernon area. Call your Vernon City Council to encourage this service.
