Spot de Pointe-aux-Loups Flat Spot

Pointe-aux-Loups Flat Spot

Pointe-aux-Loups Flat Spot

Overview

Pointe-aux-Loups is a long sand tombolo connecting Havre-aux-Maisons to Grosse-Île in the Magdalen Islands. The "Flat Spot" is a shallow water body on the tombolo's east side — one of the Madelinots' best flat water spots.

Extremely shallow water, standing depth for hundreds of meters. Fine sand bottom. The narrow tombolo lets you choose sides depending on wind — east or west. Ideal conditions for beginners and freestyle. Constant strong wind on this exposed sand strip.
