When locals talk of spending the day at Grand Beach, they also are talking about spending the day at Grand Marais, since the two are almost indivisible. Grand Beach is the provincial park area, with its fantastic, world-class beach and its boardwalk, while Grand Marais is the adjacent town with its wealth of summer fast-food eateries, tourist shops and entertainment.
610 people call the area home, but its summer population explodes to over 10,000.
