Winnipeg Beach has been a popular resort community since 1900, when the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Sir William Whyte, founded it.
The town's two kilometres of soft sandy beach attracted both the common labourer and the social elite. Today, the beachfront community still attracts visitors who come to enjoy the beach and the cottage lined streets of the present community. Located on the south shore of Lake Winnipeg, the quiet town is only a one hour drive north of Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba. Nearby towns are Gimli, Teulon, Clandeboye, Sandy Hook and Selkirk.
