The Pebble Beach School District was established in December 1913 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE14-23-8W in what is now the Municipality of West Interlake. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Lakeshore School Division. The former schoolhouse was later renovated into a private residence but was standing vacant at the time of a 2015 site visit.
