Ile du Cap-aux-Meules Beaches
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Beaches in Ile du Cap-aux-Meules, Quebec.
Dune de l'Ouest Beach (West Dune)
Popular with windsurfers, the Dune de l'Ouest Beach sees many sun worshippers strolling along on its white sands. Watch the waters on a windy day - they have a tendancy to become choppy and turbulant. Access from chemin Coulombe.
Dune du Nord Pointe-aux-loups
It is not advisable to swim at this beach, as the currents are often very strong and winds can howl. It is a beautiful spot for a walk, however, with panoramic views over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and plenty of sea-life to behold.
De la Martinique Beach
The waters of De la Martinique Beach are placid and fine for swimming. One of the Iles de la Madeleine's more popular beaches, there is plenty of parking for vehicles available. Route 199 provides access.
De l'Hopital Beach (Hospital Beach)
With facilities for parents and children, this is a good beach for families. Water lines both sides of the gleaming strip of sand, with the east of the beach facing the Lagune du Havre-aux-Maisons, and the west facing the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Access is provided through the chemin de l'Hopital in Fatima.
