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!
If you’re looking for a specific section of this post, try:
The dog-friendly swimming area can be found on Falcon Lake, south of the Main Beach.

Final Thoughts
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!
Kathryn was a librarian in a previous lifetime and is currently a writer about all things pets. When she was a kid, she hoped to work in a zoo or with wildlife in some way, thanks to her love for animals. Unfortunately, she's not strong in the sciences, so she fills her days with researching and writing about all kinds of animals and spends time playing with her adorable but terribly naughty tabby cat, Bella. Kathryn is hoping to add to her family in the near future – maybe another cat or two and a dog.
