Elk Island Provincial Park — Attraction in Rural Municipality of Victoria Beach

It is a beautiful place! Walking on a sand along the shore, warm water washing your feet... what can be better? This year we had a daughter so there was a piece of land connecting an island to the mainland. The walk is about 3km (I think) and can be a bit challenging if you are not used to walking on a sand for a long time. The island is covered with pine forest and is truly beautiful in its wilderness. I would highly recommend visiting it. But be prepared for a long journey. Also note, that there is no visitor center (at least we didn't find it) and parking by the entrance to Sandy Bay stairs, where the walk starts, is prohibited and your car can be towed away. Plus you...

First off...there is nowhere to park. The MB parks website says it can only be accessed by boat. You can walk, but you cannot park your vehicle anywhere, so if you are not a local, you may be out of luck. All Trails app says this is an easy trail. I disagree. While not that difficult, walking for kilometers on sand is tiring. Plus, the trails are not marked at all. If I had not had the trails app, I would have not found the trail in many places. Finally, there is a lot of poison ivy growing on the trail in many areas. Be cautious or you will bring more home than just memories. All that being said, we still had a great hike. Beautiful private beaches and mostly a nice...

Nature gets 5 out 5, but only 3 stars to the place in general because it lacks all services and there NO PARKING anywhere except on the main highway. It is almost designed in a way to keep it exclusive to lucky cabin owners who walk over and enjoy this hidden gem. If you plan to go there, and you really should, bring your bike/wagon and take it easy on the luggage for that there's quite a distance between the beach and where you can park. Also, remember there are no washrooms or even an outhouse.
