PLAGE DE LA GRANDE ÉCHOUERIE

The Grande Échouerie beach is an immense stretch of sand bordered by dunes and red sandstone cliffs, accessed by an interesting interpretive trail, which leads from a stunted forest of balsam fir and white spruce to the dune held back by short-liguled ammophilia. The beach follows the southern shoreline of this reserve which juts out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, northeast of the archipelago. Good place to observe the grey seal.
