This BC village is surrounded by sandy beaches, swimming holes, & four provincial parks

Ready to explore the stunning Pemberton Valley in British Columbia this summer? The small village is situated just 20 minutes north of Whistler, but has a world of natural attractions and hidden gems to offer travellers.

Hike through gorgeous alpine meadows and mountains, spend the day on one of the village’s many pristine lakes, or visit the year-round Sloquet Hot Springs – which feature tub-style pools along the serene Lillooet River.

And if you’re looking to explore some famous provincial parks, Pemberton is the ideal gateway to Joffre Lakes, Birkenhead, Garibaldi, and Nairn Falls Parks – all of which boast crystal-clear waters.

Prefer to lounge at the beach? There are some beautiful sandy beaches to visit at One Mile Lake, Strawberry Point at Lillooet Lake, Twin One, Lizzie Bay, and Driftwood Bay, according to Tourism Pemberton.

Popular swimming holes can also be found at Mosquito Anderson, Birkenhead, and Gates Lakes.
