The first Europeans, the Voyageurs, to travel Lake Winnipeg knew what is now the peninsula of Victoria Beach as L'Île-à-la-Biche.

The aim of the Company was to "lay out, improve, sell and dispose of its lands to be used primarily as a summer resort."

[1] Because Victoria Beach was basically an island with only a narrow spit joining it to the mainland, there was no road access.

However, in 1916, the railway was to arrive at Victoria Beach making it easier to bring in supplies to build cottages.

Other amenities of the area include a marina, swimming docks for swimming lessons, a sailing club, Moonlight Inn Restaurant, a library, children's playground and nice beaches sporting very fine and soft white sand.

[7] The roads of the RM of Victoria Beach are mostly a restricted area for vehicles and its gravel laneways are dominated by pedestrians and cyclists during the summer months.

These exceptions require drivers to adhere to strict speed limits while yielding to pedestrians and cyclists.

[8] Local commercial fishers organized a non-profit Victoria Beach Harbour Authority and the structure still stands today as of the early 2020s.

[8] Victoria Beach and the restricted area provides cottagers and residents with a wealth of recreation in the community including the yacht club, marina with dock, baseball field, tennis courts and golf course.

Located on the east side of Lake Winnipeg near the town of Victoria Beach, the Yacht Club offers both recreation and race sailing.

[9] The yacht club in the community hosts the most active catamaran sailing fleet on Lake Winnipeg, as well as other dinghies and a small number of keelboats.
