Iles de la Madeleine | La Lagune

Overview

The Lagune of the Magdalen Islands is THE iconic kitesurfing spot in Quebec and one of Canada's best flat water spots. This vast shallow lagoon between Havre-aux-Maisons and Cap-aux-Meules offers flat, warm water protected by sand dunes.

Standing depth for hundreds of meters — ideal conditions for beginners and freestyle. Wind is omnipresent on the archipelago, blowing from all directions thanks to the flat island terrain. Turquoise water, fine sand bottom. The Madelinots host an active kite community all summer.
