Crystal Sands is a private resort located on the most southern shore of Mara Lake, BC. You can spot its sandy shoreline from Highway 97A, flanked by the Shuwsap River and a turtle sanctuary. Once a public motel and campground, Crystal Sands has long been a go-to destination for Canadian families. In 2004, Crystal Sands was transformed into the exclusive, privately-owned resort you see today.
