Seba Beach is a summer village located 85 km (53 mi) west of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada on the shore of Wabamun lake. The main employer to those within the village and surrounding area is the Sundance Generating Plant, a coal-fired power plant located on the south side of the lake, owned and operated by TransAlta Utilities.
A large cabin-going community exists during the summer, although the village is populated year round. The village features a museum, marina, public beach, municipal building featuring a firehall and a library, thrift store, RV campground,[2] golf resort,[3] a miniature golf course,[4] a general store,[5] and a farmers market which is open at certain dates during the summer. The village used to have a school, but lack of attending students forced it to close in 2019 with the affected students locating to nearby schools: Entwistle, Tomahawk, and Wabamun.
Seba Beach is one of the few summer villages in Alberta that employs community peace officers. The duties of its two peace officers include traffic and liquor enforcement as well as emergency response.[citation needed]
August long weekend is the annual Regatta at Seba Beach, which features a parade, dance, foot races, fireworks, beach volleyball tournament, and cribbage tournament, among other events.
Fish within Wabamun lake include northern pike, whitefish, walleye, and yellow perch.[6]
History
Seba Beach started as a couple of cabins in 1906, but during the 1920s when the railway passed by it became more accessible and the population grew. Seba Beach got its name from one of the sons of Cush in the Old Testament. Early Seba Beach featured a hotel, bakery, post office, dance hall, a church (the building which the current museum is in), mink farm, and Twig's Inn, which served as both an inn and a gas station. Commercial ice fishing occurred during the winter months, and during the summer many different festivals and events were held which drew in large numbers from Edmonton.
