Victoria Beach is situated on the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg and is popular for many reasons including its fine sand. In 1916, the Great Canadian Railway built a line to Victoria Beach, and women and children would live at the beach during the summer with fathers arriving by train for the weekends. A hotel was built, as well as several other amenities, none of which exist today because of a fire. The beach is still well populated in the summer months.

Grand Beach Provincial Park is less than 90 km (56 mi.) from the centre of Winnipeg. It is a provincial hot spot, so the best time to visit is mid-week or off-season. A merry-go-round, concession stand, restaurant, and beach kiosks line the boardwalk. Be sure to check out the nearby sand dunes where children and adults alike are found playing amongst them.
