If you have young kids and you are looking for a good central Alberta beach I recommend Buffalo Lake. Ol' MacDonald's Farm and Pellican Point campgrounds both have great beaches with nice sand and shallow water.
We also just spent 4 days in July at Crimson Lake Provincial Park and the campground and lake are beautiful. Highly recommended if you can find a spot.

While Crimson Lake and the surrounding area is beautiful, I found after my trip on Canada Day this year that after you step a foot into the water, you are in a nasty gross pooey goo. Beach was great, but once you go into the water all you are standing in is that nasty goo. We enjoyed the nearby Lake Cow much more. I actually thought the water temp and beach was near perfect as far as Alberta lakes go.
