We are proud of the sights, hidden and not, that can be found by people not familiar with the city. If you keep and eye or two open you may just find something you had been looking for all your life. The lake is nice in the summer. If you sit infront of Roca Jacks during the summer there isn't really much more you need to see than people walking around and enjoying the day. ________Beaches Edit This Regina beach can be found just a few kilometeres west of the city. It's worth taking a day out of your busy schedual to go and have a dip. There is a nice bar, lots of wonderful ice cream, and a little arcade. Many other things can be found here, but it's your job to go find them. Also of interest is the 5 star beach side resort. From your prime location you can watch the beached whales blumbering around on the sand with their children's hands and faces full of hot dogs, growing in all directions just like their parents. A note of caution for those with small children. The water is an opague green and will color skin, hair, eyes etc. a putrid green. Several children have dissapeared into the green soup never to be found again. [Add Beach] regina beach Edit This windsor park beach just for families. Great idea to bring bread for the duckies. If you are lucky you might even find ducklings.
