Local Beaches to visit ⛱️🌞

A list of Beaches located nearby. Definitely worth checking out an exploring if your interested in a little sight seeing! Some are very well known, others are more hidden gems. I've included a few that vary from being within a very short walking distance from the cabin (Loni Beach) located just down the backlack, to some being short under 10 min walk, or bikeride away, to some being a 5 min drive but still located in town, and others located outside of Gimli, but a short drive away. Feel free to ask me for maps or more information if your unsure of, or unable to find the locations 😊! *Hint, for even more close by beach idea's, I suggest using Google maps "satellite" view🛰 but only if your feeling -really adventurous- there are many close by, but simply not very well known ones, with public access although limited, an a bit tricky to find!!
Loni Beach, located in the northern part of Gimli, is a semi private beach located just down the back lane from the cabin. 🏖🌞

South Beach, located at the end of "Moonlight Bay", this locally well known hotspot is located in the southern part of Gimli, about a 5 min drive away from the cabin an definitely worth checking out. Not very well known of though publically, as it's kinda tucked away/hidden, there is public parking available however. As it's slowly becoming more popular an well known over the years, on especially nice days the parking lot can fill up fast! So sometimes it's best to plan to go early, that way you don't have to park down the street, farther away.🏖🌞

Gimli's main Public Beach! with many local restaurants and shopping available within short walking distance near by. Located about 10 min walk or less from the cabin, there's also public change rooms, restrooms, and outdoor showers available for use, with many picnic tables, benches, and courts set up along the beach for volleyball or badminton, and a really nice large play structure for kids located right on the beach itself.

Definitely not a well known Beach! this is more of a hidden Gem, almost guaranteed to be completly private lol, but -only recommend- this one if you don't mind, and are physically fit/capable of a short hike/lil adventure walk!...through a short not very well defined trail with bushes, and on occasion even some minor flooding deepening on the lakes water levels/recent weather...The parking is also tricky to come by, so no guarantee's you'll even be able to find a spot. However! if you do find one, an make it through the trail, the view is fantastic, it's usually completely secluded, and it's views are definitely unique, especially if you walk right up to the very end point, you can get some interesting pictures with the funny illusion the end of pointed shore makes. *Not recommend for families with small kids, if you have a lot of beach gear, or need close by restrooms/amenities. Great for a short trip though, some sight seeing, and exploring not very well known spots!

This beach is located in the very popular, well known town of Winnipeg Beach, with lots of restaurants, shopping, parks, sports, an recreational activity located near by...It's worth adding that if you enjoy roller skating/rollerblading/skateboarding that their is nice usually pretty well maintained sidewalks along the beach suitable for this.

Restaurants 🍝🍔

Everyone who visits Gimli knows Brennavins as being great for their Pizza's!! and they sure are...but not so many know that their salads are even better! 😉🥗🥬(well in my honest opinion anyways) I tell everyone and their Grandma, even those who don't -think- they like salad to give one a try. They're not only delicious, but the portion sizes are huge (same goes for the fries) 1 order of a "Large" salad for example is easily big enough for 4 people. I highly recommend the **Black Sea Salad** in particular, and if your not vegetarian/vegan then definitely with either chicken, crumble bacon, or both added on! it's kinda having pizza...only, minus the carbs 😊

Great place to go if your craving fish n chips! they also have a good selection of different kinds of poutine, an ice cream treats, with a nice little patio set up in the front, if you go along the side however, it's kinda hidden but there's actually a much bigger newly built patio located at the back!

from the owners "a small-town pub located in Gimli, MB with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients (made-in-Manitoba products) and Manitoba craft beer on tap and in bottles/cans. We have great food but operate a small kitchen, so we appreciate your patience when ordering food in large groups or at peak meal times. Join us for a variety of fun events like live music, comedy, trivia, open mic - see our website for a full listing with additional details. Gay-owned, and a safe space for all!"

Locally well known restaurant, that's best known for their breakfasts especially omelet's and french toast. Their lunch menu's for burgers, fries, onion rings, and other comfort food is also great, and if in the mood for Ukrainian food, they've got that as well. The sausage is locally made, and the fish served is locally caught.

Local Thai food! With great reviews, I think this one speaks for itself "Best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand, we had the lunch special and it was delicious!", overall a great restaurant with friendly staff, good service, an nice atmosphere. There's indoor seating, but personally I really like the outdoor patio, right next to a little park.
