Hillside Beach is a long sandy beach along a protected bay on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. Like many beaches on this Lake, it is bordered by a lagoon separated by sand dunes from the beach. The Hillside Beach lagoon is large and suitable for boating, fishing, or bird watching. There are boat launches into both the lagoon and the lake in Hillside. The public beach has portable outhouses installed during the summer months for visitors. Hillside Beach has a general store and gas station one block from the beach which has a restaurant and picnic tables, and provides modern washrooms. They also serve ice-cream and sell firewood.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
