Dunes 12 metres high and kilometres of inviting warm sand beach receive the gentle waves of the great prairie sea. This is Grand Beach, located on Lake Winnipeg - the sixth largest lake in Canada. The beach, considered one of the best in North America, beckons the sun worshipper in all of us. Travels to Grand Beach have been a tradition since the days of the carousel, the dance hall and train rides to the beach in the 1920s. Nowadays, nature's strong summer potion of sun, sand and water draws thousands of people from miles around.
