Magdalen Islands Essentials

The Magdalen Islands archipelago in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence features a landscape of red sandstone cliffs and white sand dunes. This selection covers the historic La Grave site in Havre-Aubert, traditional maritime industries like the Fumoir d'antan smokehouse, and the islands' network of navigational landmarks, including the 19th-century Amherst Island Light. Visitors can sample regional flavors at local cheese shops and microbreweries or explore the car-free trails of Entry Island.
