Kitesurf spot at Baie-Saint-Paul, a jewel of Charlevoix on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. The spot is at the mouth of the Gouffre River where it meets the St. Lawrence. Baie-Saint-Paul is famous for its artistic setting and grandiose landscapes between mountains and river. The tidal flats at the river mouth offer a unique water area at high tide, while low tide reveals a vast foreshore. Charlevoix's mountainous terrain creates wind channeling effects.
