Plage Monaghan
A long stretch of fine-sand beach east of town, good for walks, sunrises and views of the islands, with barrier-free access in summer.
Monaghan Beach lies on the bay shore east of central Sept-Îles, a long stretch of fine sand backed by low dunes and conifer forest. It faces Sept-Îles Bay and the distant Grand Boul Island. Even in summer the sea is only in the low teens Celsius, so locals come here to walk dogs, fly kites or watch the sunrise, while brave visitors can wade into the waves. The beach is free, with a car park and picnic tables. It is about a 10-minute drive from downtown; the entrance is on Rue Rivière. The coordinates are estimated based on map services.
