Victoria Beach Today
Victoria Beach with its restricted area is one of the more exclusive places to own a cottage, with its own sailing club, marina with dock, baseball field, tennis courts and golf course.
With several small beaches the cottages vary from large and modern to small, almost historic cabins.
Victoria Beach used to be an island in the estuary of the Winnipeg River, until it was connected to the mainland by the railroad dam.
The restricted area can only be used by pedestrians and cyclists during the summer months. From the week before Canada Day until Labour Day, all motor vehicles are banned and must be parked in the parking lot located at the main entrance to the community.
Victoria Beach hosts one of Manitoba's largest catamaran sailing fleets, as well as other dinghies and a small number of keelboats. Located on the east side of Lake Winnipeg near the town of Victoria Beach, the Yacht Club offers both recreation and racing fun.
