Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Summerland cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Summerland vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $407 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Summerland is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Summerland for beaches is along the coastline, particularly near Lookout Park.

This area is Summerland's main draw for beach lovers. It's essentially a stretch of land running parallel to the Pacific Coast Highway, with direct access to the sand and sea. Lookout Park itself offers picnic areas, a playground, and steps leading down to the beach, making it a central point for beach activities. You'll find a mix of quaint holiday rentals and a few boutique hotels dotted along this coastal strip.

Couples looking for a relaxing seaside break will find this area ideal. You can easily spend your mornings strolling along the beach, enjoying the ocean views, and your afternoons exploring the nearby antique shops or having a meal at one of the local eateries along Lillie Avenue, which is just a short walk inland.

Families with children will also appreciate staying near Lookout Park. The park provides green space for kids to play, and the beach offers plenty of room for building sandcastles and splashing in the waves.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Summerland?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Summerland is from June to August, when the weather is consistently warm and sunny. Temperatures during this peak season typically range from 20-25°C, providing ideal conditions for enjoying Summerland's beautiful beaches and water activities.

During these months, you'll find the coastline bustling with activity, from surfing and paddleboarding to leisurely strolls along the shore. It's a fantastic time for families looking for a classic Californian beach holiday, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and vibrant beachside dining. Given the popularity, it's wise to book your preferred beach hotel and dining reservations well in advance to secure the best options.

As another option, October presents a wonderful alternative. The weather remains pleasantly mild, often hovering around 18-22°C, which is still superb for beach walks and enjoying the ocean views without the intense summer heat. It can also be easier to secure reservations at sought-after beach hotels and restaurants, and you may find better value on premium stays.

It's known for its relatively calm waters and soft sand, making it a pleasant spot for sunbathing or building sandcastles. You'll find public access points near Lookout Park, which also offers picnic areas and restrooms.

For couples, a leisurely stroll along the beach at sunset is a wonderful experience. The views across the Pacific Ocean are lovely, and you might even spot dolphins playing in the distance. The beach is also dog-friendly, so if you're travelling with a furry companion, they can join you for a walk.
