⭐ Turtle Bay Pub is known for Fish Tacos and Salmon Salad.
🐢 Turtle Bay Pub is a longtime Lake Country gathering place tucked directly along the shore of Wood Lake beside Turtle Bay Marina, where the dockside setting has been drawing locals for decades.
Its signature waterfront patio has been refreshed with a covered pergola overlooking the boats and lake, while the multi-level interior mixes classic pub character with sports, pool and regular live entertainment. The nearby Okanagan Rail Trail has even made Turtle Bay a destination for cyclists stopping midway through rides along Kalamalka and Wood lakes, and the dog-friendly patio welcomes four-legged visitors with water bowls and a growing wall of their photos. On sunny Okanagan days, few local pubs put the lake quite this close to the table.
