Kitesurf spot at the Moisie River beach, east of Sept-Îles on the North Shore. The mouth of the Moisie River, a famous salmon river, creates a vast sandy area where the river meets the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It's one of Quebec's wildest and most spectacular spots, with a landscape of dunes, endless beaches and boreal forest. The water is completely open to the Gulf with unlimited fetch.
