- Manitoba summers are short but gorgeous.
- With temperatures ranging from the mid 20s to the mid 30s on the Celsius scale during July and August and the fine sand white beaches such as Hillside Beach, it can rival the Caribbean in recreational value.
- Though not as well known as Victoria Beach or as commercial as Grand Beach, it is one of the nicer resorts in southern Manitoba.
- It is valued by cottagers as a quiet resort with a grand two kilometer sand beach and dunes in a protected bay of Lake Winnipeg, just across from Victoria Beach.
- The protected bay offers good conditions for sailing, surfing, water skiing and fishing.
- Behind the dunes there is a large lagoon (three kilometers across) used for fishing, canoeing and birdwatching.
- When the larger bay becomes too choppy water skiers often prefer the quieter waters of the lagoon.
Facilities and services.
- They mainly consist of a general store and gas station, an antique shop and a utility rental shop.
