MIKE LIMMERICK: Coming from Lake of the Woods in Kenora coming from a place that I thought was one of the biggest lakes in Canada beside the Great Lakes. Coming here working on this beach has really been like being on the ocean. You can't see the other side and I've been to the Caribbean and to Indonesia on those beaches and the waves here are comparable. And at Grand Beach where I've worked for the last couple of years I've had tourists come from England and California which is surprising they end up in Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba. They actually pick up the sand and take it with them they'll take a cup and they'll bring it home to show their friends, they can't believe the quality of the sand here. It's rated I've heard in North America one of the top ten beaches. WINNIPEG BEACH NAR: Winnipeg beach is the beach where Manitoba plays. It's the people's playground. Located 76 km north of Winnipeg it's only an hour from the city. For 50 years Winnipeg Beach was host to thousands of summer visitors who enjoyed the boardwalk, the roller coaster and the dance hall. Today Winnipeg beach has been reborn and feels very friendly. MIKE LIMERICK: The park here is so beautiful. You have this green belt right behind the grass. And right behind this grass greenbelt you have this beautiful town. It offers great food and places to hang out in I think it offers so much. The people that come to WB it's more of a family beach. The kind of people that come here are mostly from Winnipeg. If it's a beautiful day in Winnipeg you know its going to be a busy at the beach. It's like a mass exodus that come out to these beaches. Winnipeg is a small city but it offers so much. Anywhere you leave Winnipeg within an hour or 2 hours you're surrounded by lakes you're surrounded by cottages. You're surrounded by all these great things so I think its a really great thing that I can drive 50 minutes and be at the ocean in the centre of Canada or almost the ocean. We're lucky here. <- Previous Page • Next page -> <- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ->
