Dune de l'Ouest is a magnificent fine sand beach at the western tip of Havre-Aubert island. This long strip of dunes faces the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the west side, offering direct exposure to the prevailing westerly and northwesterly winds. It's one of the most spectacular spots in the Magdalen Islands with wild dune landscapes and memorable sunsets. The spot offers varied conditions from flat water in protected areas to waves on the exposed coast.
West coast exposed to the open Gulf. Waves possible in sustained westerly wind with significant fetch. Relatively flat areas behind sandbars at low tide. Progressive sandy bottom. Water stays cold (12-16°C in summer). Tides reveal large sand flats suitable for landkite.
