Spot de Portage du Cap

Portage du Cap

Portage du Cap

Overview

Portage du Cap is a spot on a narrow isthmus in the southern part of Havre-Aubert island. This passage between two bodies of water offers a unique feature: depending on wind direction, you can ride on either side of the land strip. The spot benefits from relatively sheltered water on the bay side, with open water access on the Gulf side. Sandy and shallow bottom, especially at low tide.
