Manitou Beach is a resort village in Saskatchewan, Canada, located on the shores of Little Manitou Lake, approximately 100 km east of Saskatoon, and 5 km north of the town of Watrous.

The waters at the beach are known for their high salinity and resulting buoyancy. The salt levels are such that one can even lie back and read a book while floating in suspension.
