Pointe de l'Islet Trail
Sentier de la Pointe de l'Islet
A rocky peninsula that juts from the village into the Saguenay River mouth. A loop trail reaches the top in just a few minutes, and you can often spot belugas and seals.
The trail starts near the whale-watching wharf and loops about 1 km around the rocky headland, with wooden boardwalks and viewing platforms along the way. You can look out over the fjord's exit, Tadoussac Bay, and the opposite shore of Pointe-Noire. Belugas and grey seals often appear. The trail is free and takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it a popular spot for watching the sunset. The rocky sections have no railings, so take care when bringing children.
