One of Penticton's best kept "local only" secret but I want my guests to know about it!
Il Vechios is just around the corner from Eat, Sleep, Beach. It's a Europeon deli where you can pick up the FRESHEST sandwich and the most affordable sandwich in town!
Tips:
- Cash only. A sandwich is $6 for 2 meats and 1 cheese and they go up from there. You pick the meat and cheese - all made on a fresh bun.
- Do not go between 12-1pm. You will see why if you show up. Every downtown local in Penticton will be there with you in line. Call in and pre-order or pop in earlier and grab your sandwiches there before headed to the beach!

Dog parks
We have various dog parks around Penticton.
Here is a google map of local off leash dog parks!

Sunoka Beach also has an off leash dog friendly beach area. Ask me for directions!
The Water Treatment Plant location is the most under-utilized dog park. A hidden gem really and close by via car.
