Montreal... Quebec City... part of your next gay friendly vacation? A stop on the Magdalen Islands archipelago could be more than interesting for you.

Located in the heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the archipelago includes a dozen islands. A short distance separates the major urban centers of Quebec from the Magdalen Islands. But by car and by boat, it could well take you a few extra days on your expedition to Quebec. This would not be a bad idea in order to discover the beautiful Gaspé region.

One of the best seasons to discover the islands is without a doubt the summer period. The maritime climate allows this region of Quebec to have a summer without heat waves and a wonderfully warm fall.

Pleasant in the summer when the weather is hot, soft in the fall, the beaches of the Magdalen Islands are covered with beautiful sand. You can sunbathe on a beach while admiring the sea and the red cliffs. A moment that will remain engraved in your memory.

The dunes
One of the wonders not to be missed on the Magdalen Islands are the various dunes that are located near the beaches.
