Canada - Beaches, Wine - Okanagan Valley

Article Date: 2007-11-08

This region of British Colombia in Canada could only be described as colorful. Its character was formed by Aboriginal peoples and European traders and settlers. Today, the attributes of all of its ancestors have merged to produce a thriving location for modern residents and visitors. This part of Canada is famous for:

• natural surroundings
  
• vineyards
  
• orchards

All of this remarkably beautiful landscape in Canada is made up of mountains, valleys, forests, lakes and even desert. So varied is the nature of the landscape that it offers something for everyone. For the outdoors enthusiast the list of activities is impressive:

• Ski (cross-country, downhill)
  
• Snowshoe
  
• Water Sports (canoe, sail)
  
• Camp
  
• Hike

The lakes of Canada are used in this region for water sports of every type. The beaches on the shores of the lakes are surrounded by views of breathtaking mountains and orchards. Weather conditions are warm and dry and a unique beach life has grown up around the lakes. There are also city beaches for those who have homes in an urban setting.

Growing recognition for the winemaking industry of Canada has placed British Colombia on the wine connoisseur's wish list. The Okanagan Valley was identified by Frommer's as one of the top travel destinations. Wine is being made from grapes as well as other fruits and ice wine is a local delicacy. All the charm of a world class winemaking region is to be enjoyed.

It is quite obvious that Canada is a desirable location. Its beauty is enough to draw visitors from far and wide. However, for the serious investor, Canada also has a solid lifestyle, infrastructure and economy making it a must-have asset. Property for short-term or permanent use is available in a variety of locations.
