It has been said that one of the best beaches in North America is located at Grand Beach Provincial Park. It is the first choice of those who love hot sun. Vast blue skies and relaxation. The 3 kilometer ( almost 2 miles) , stretch of the finest silica sand that you will find anywhere , with its rolling dunes reaches up to 12 meters ( 40 feet) in height is more than a perfect haven for sun worshippers/
Nearby the Grand Beach Campground offers close to 350 campsites with a combination of both simple and more upscale camping opportunities.
Grand Beach Manitoba has been a tradition since the days of the carousel, the “dance hall” and the train rides to the “beach” in the 1920’s. Nowadays nature’s strong summer potion of sun , sand and water draws thousands of people from both nearby the Lake Winnipeg , Whiteshell and Lake Manitoba lakes as well as far away.
Days at Grand Beach can be filled with pleasant swims, strolls along the boardwalk, beach volleyball and sand castle contests. Brightly colored sails of surfers drift by on the warm yet potent Manitoba winds. It as if Lake Winnipeg is an ocean for recreational sailors. The winds rush off the prairies with nothing in their paths to almost batter the lake. Good sailors at Lake Winnipeg can almost always count on strong, consistent winds to drive their sails. Next a natural lagoon offers a world of adventure for children and adults alike. Hundreds and hundreds of birds make up a kaleidoscope of color and song. Look for the more than occasional Lake Winnipeg Pelican in your view.

Sand dunes 12 netres ( 40 feet) high as well as kilometers of inviting warm sand beach receie the the gentle waves of the "Great Prairie Sea". Grand Beach is located on Lake Winnipeg , the sixth largest lake in Canada .

Grand Beach is one of the very few places where the endangered species - the "Piping Plower" still flourished. Stroll away from the beach areas and find the entirely different and distinct world of the forest basins - with lagoons , jack pine forests and even spruce bogs.

"Ancient Beach" and "Wild Wings" self guiding trails take visitors to special places within the park that do not always get attention that they deserve. Visitors can take an interpretive tour or tours. You can explore how the landscape came to be or you can follow a trail to see a multitude of birds and wildlife at the marsh.

Although the beaches are the focal points of the park itself. There are more than plenty of activities to keep you busy throughout your vacation or vacations. In addition to these trails, other activities which are available include tennis, waterskiing, boardsailing, boating, fishing and golf..
