St. Ambroise Beach

St. Ambroise Beach

Overview

St. Ambroise Beach is a provincial park located on the south shore of Lake Manitoba, at the lake's southeastern end. This spot benefits from impressive northerly fetch of over 200 km for the prevailing north and northwest winds. The provincial park offers facilities (parking, restrooms, camping) and a long sandy beach. Lake Manitoba being very shallow, chop builds quickly even in moderate wind, offering fun conditions for freestyle.
