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. It is a tourist destination with a Mineral Spa, Danceland dance hall, a 9-hole golf course, and a Regional Park campground.
The waters at the beach are known for their high salinity and resulting buoyancy. Because the density of the lake water is ten times that of regular water, persons who enter the lake naturally float on top. It is one of only three bodies of water in the world with such properties, the other two being the Dead Sea in Israel and Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic.[3]

Manitou Beach had a population of 257 in the 2011 Canada Census, an increase of 10.3% from a 2006 Census population of 233.

The median age was 57.6.[1]
