Outdoor & Recreation Facilities

Enjoy the beautiful private beach

Lazy days with a good book, fun and frolic with the kids, or a quiet sunset

While staying at Sorrento Centre be sure to enjoy all the waterfront has to offer. Take in the beautiful view of Copper Island (a short paddle away), splash on the safe gentle grade pebble beach, take swim in the roped off swim area and a floating dock ~ all this and more is waiting for you at the end of a short walk through the shaded forest.

Sorrento Centre’s beach on Shuswap Lake is a private swim area open daily from 7:00 am – dusk. There is no life-guard on duty. The beach area features a volley ball court, portable toilets and change room.

Guests of the Centre who are registered on courses have unlimited free access to the beach.

Sorrento Centre Labyrinth

The brick paver labyrinth at Sorrento was installed in 1999. There has been a continued growing interest across the world in the labyrinth – its history, the meanings, personal experience as a practice for spiritual insight, and its expression in variety of forms.
We welcome you to our labyrinth as a walking meditation, a spiritual practice or simply an opportunity to calm the mind and enjoy peace, quiet and reflection.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools
