Years ago the "Moonlight Special" trains brought visitors to this resort town on the shore of Lake Winnipeg. Now families are rediscovering Winnipeg Beach as a terrific place to celebrate summer. On a hot day, see the sights, stroll the boardwalk, and catch the same cool breeze which sets the windsurfers skimming across the water. Pick the shade of a beachside picnic table. Leaving Winnipeg, travel north on HWY 8 for 45.0 km/28.0 mi., turn right at PR 229 drive 5.0 km/3.1 mi. to Winnipeg Beach.
