The beautiful province of Manitoba is home to more than 100,000 lakes – that’s a lot of beaches and swimming areas to choose from! But part of spending the day at the beach should also include your best friend.
There are a number of beaches that don’t allow dogs, so it’s important to know where you are allowed to take your dog. We’ve dug up 13 dog-friendly beaches, some of which feature off-leash areas while others allow dogs, but they must be leashed at all times. Hopefully, you and your dog will find a gorgeous beach for you both to enjoy!

Provincial parks can be one of the best ways you can spend some time with your dog. Beyond just spending the day at the beach, you can take your dog for hikes through the beautiful forests of Manitoba.
Just remember to bring supplies with you – both for your dog and for the park. Plenty of poop bags so you can clean up after your dog, extra water, snacks, toys, and a long leash!
