A true oasis just 5 minutes from downtown Quebec City, Baie de Beauport is the urban beach you’ve been dreaming of! Talk about a local hotspot. The sandy beach and spectacular views of the St. Lawrence are one of a kind here, making it the perfect place to get away from it all. As well as being a big draw for watersports enthusiasts with their own gear—think kayaking, paddleboarding, kiteboarding and more!—Baie de Beauport has its own sailing school and watersports rental centre.

And there’s no shortage of things to do for landlubbers either, with volleyball and bocce ball courts, soccer pitches and a bike pumptrack, not to mention a water playground, picnic areas aplenty and Quebec City’s one and only food truck! 

Grab your flip-flops, the beach is calling!
