Seba Beach is a summer village located 85 km (53 mi) west of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. 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, golf resort, a miniature golf course, a general store, 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.
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.
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 the lake include northern pike, whitefish, walleye, and yellow perch.
