Baie-Sainte-Marguerite (Saguenay Fjord National Park)
Baie Sainte-Marguerite
The northern shore area of Saguenay Fjord National Park, where you can walk to a beluga viewing platform. Groups of belugas often frolic in the bay in summer.
Baie Sainte-Marguerite is one of the belugas' favorite summer habitats. From the visitor centre, a forest trail runs about 3 km (roughly 45 minutes one way) to a viewing platform at the bay. There you can often see white whale backs rising and falling on the water, and guides give commentary. The visitor centre introduces beluga conservation. Fees follow Quebec national park standards. From Tadoussac, take Route 172 toward Sacré-Cœur, about a 30-minute drive.
