The Magdalen Islands are renowned for their stunning and unique beaches. Here are a few of our favourite spots to enjoy the sand, sea, and sun.

Martinique Beach: Search for Sand Dollars

Martinique Beach is the perfect spot to search for sand dollars, those small, unique sea stars. The shallow waters extending for several meters make this beach a safe swimming area, ideal for families. Located along the way to La Grave, it’s often lively and offers a vibrant atmosphere. It’s a popular destination where you can spend a beautiful day by the sea.

Pointe-aux-Loups Beach: Clear and Warm Waters

Pointe-aux-Loups is known for having some of the warmest waters, according to many visitors. With a beach stretching nearly 17 km, you can often feel like you’re almost alone in the world, especially during the quieter times of the season. The water is clear, and the beach is surrounded by impressive white dunes. Accessible from Route 199, it’s about 15 minutes from the Auberge, offering an intimate getaway.
 

Bout du Banc: A Picnic at the End of the World

Bout du Banc is a hook-shaped beach located at the tip of Havre-Aubert. Here, two currents meet at the end of the sandy point, creating a breathtaking sight with stunning views of Île d'Entrée. It’s the perfect place to bring a picnic and spend the entire day exploring and enjoying the scenery.

Bonus: Dune de l’Ouest Beach, a well-kept secret. Wild, natural, and uncrowded, it offers an intimate, untouched experience known only to the lucky few.

These beaches are the perfect spots to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Magdalen Islands. Whether you're looking for a peaceful swim or an adventure at the edge of the world, you’ll find your ideal escape on these beaches.
