Love this gem of a town. The cutest little art shops, ice cream shops and beaches. This is the junction to head back to Nelson via Kalso, of keep going to Nakusp.
Maybe you want to go and hike up to Idaho Peak!! Single lane- but so worth the view from this old forest fire look out

A must visit!! This is a gorgeous beach with a long white sand strip with shallow water. This is part of a provincial camp ground, there are both permanent no water toilets as well as flushing toilets with sinks. A few great childrens play grounds, and a great place to bring the bikes, scooters or go for a hike!

This is locals beach. You will see where the path is (just after the 1st bridge on lower 6 mike road) that winds down to the beach. Dogs allowed, no toilets, pack it in- pack it out. No garbage cans here. Its is just a secret white sand beach. I suggest swimming only on the upside- there has been deadly undertows on the Nelson side of the spit
