BEAUPORT BAY
A true oasis 5 minutes from downtown, the Bay of Beauport is a must in Quebec. The ideal place to escape every day, it offers a unique panorama with its beach and its breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence.
In addition to a wide range of water activities including swimming (when conditions permit), paddle boarding and kitesurfing, the Beauport Bay is home to a sailing school and a summer camp. Activities are numerous with its soccer fields, petanque, water games and “food truck”!

The Cavalier-du-moulin Park
In 1663, Simon Denys of La Trinité built a mill on a rocky mound called Mount Carmel, on the site of the present Cavalier-du-Moulin park. In 1693, this mill is integrated into a defensive work called Cavalier. By bringing the line of fortifications back to the west in 1755, the rider lost his mill and strategic value at the same time.
