The beach and boardwalk have always been the main draw of people longing to escape the heat of the city whether for a few hours or part of the summer. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and these photos show the joy of the sand and water at Winnipeg Beach over the years. Although the bathing suits have changed, the water tower still overlooks the scene like an old sentinel and the joy and spirit of adventure remain unchanged.

If you are doing the mini walking tour, take a stroll down memory lane path towards main street and you will find a short overview of Winnipeg Beach’s history.
