Day Trip! Long Island Lake Beach is OPEN for the Season

Written By dotMedia

Long Island Lake Beach is one of the best beaches near Edmonton. The popular day-use spot is just ninety minutes from Edmonton and features clean water, great sand, a playground (including giant tires) on the beach, and a dock for kids to swim out to, and jump from into the water.

Here’s what you should know before you go to Long Island Lake Beach

  • It looks like there are some new rules this year that include no food or drinks allowed on the beach. There are plenty of fast-casual options for dining in Westlock with kids, if you’re looking for a place to grab food on the way home from the beach, or you can use one of the day use spots for eating.

  • Beach day use passes will be available on a first come first serve basis. Limited quantities are available daily, and the fee is $10 (you can book this in advance, online).

Day passes can be purchased online at www.westlockcounty.com. When you visit the website, click on ‘explore’ and choose Long Island Lake. From there, you will be able to purchase a day use pass, or book camping in the adjacent campground.

Getting to the Beach

You can use apple maps, or Google maps and enter ‘Long Island Lake Campground’, or use the following instructions: From the Town of Westlock, 22 km North on Hwy 44 to Dapp Corner (Hwy’s 44, 661 E & 801 Junction), then 12 km North on Hwy 801 and 3 km East.
