Description
Whether you’re on your own or with your dog, the Penouille sand spit is sure to rejuvenate you. It’s a unique site distinguished by its mosaic of habitats, where you can explore its dunes, its forest along the Taïga Trail, and its northern salt marsh—a protected conservation area. Recognized as one of the most beautiful in Quebec, its beach offers surprisingly warm water thanks to its location in Gaspé Bay, delighting swimmers and paddlers alike. At the entrance, the visitor center features a gift shop, a picnic shelter, and helpful information. Accessible equipment (golf cart, Mobi-Chair, mats) is available to ensure access to the beach.
