LAGUNE DU HAVRE-AUX-BASQUES

Located between the islands of Cap aux Meules and Havre Aubert, the Havre-aux-Basques lagoon is a renowned ornithological site in the area, frequented in particular by waterfowl during the nesting season. A migratory bird sanctuary has been set up here, and it is of course forbidden to hunt within its boundaries. It's also a favorite spot for kitesurfing and other sailing sports. You'll often see improvised mini-camps set up along the dunes.
