Very common belief in Canada. It kinda surprises me, given that Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba are freaking HUGE on any map of the country... but I guess much like westerners underestimate the size of the beaches on the Great Lakes...

Still don't understand why people are saying Manitoba beaches are so great though. Is it the water? the sand? I would love to know as before this thread (and the the original discussion in the other thread) I had NO idea Manitoba even had beaches.

Amazing sand. Water that you can walk, in some cases, 100s of metres into before it gets "deep". Miles-long beaches that aren't packed end-to-end with huge crowds (although Grand can get like this at times). Virtually zero industrial presence on the lakes, so the water is some of the cleanest on the continent (at least in comparison to other large lakes, most of which have heavy industrial activity on their shores and large cities dumping semi-treated effluent into them).
