Swimming Imprimer cette page Envoyer cette page à un ami
SwimmingPhoto: Jean-Pierre Huard

Come and enjoy a sunrise or sunset and relax to the sound of the waves. Come and breathe in the scents of the sea or collect shells, agates and pieces of driftwood that have been shaped by the action of the ocean. No matter where you choose to spend a day, whether it's at the seashore, a lake or river, you will find a host of water activities to delight the entire family.

Watch for the changing tides when the water temperature increases by a few degrees as it flows over the warm sand. Are you a little sceptical about Gaspésie's warm treasure? In July 1534, a navigator visited these shores and used these words to describe la Baie-des-Chaleurs : "Their lands are more temperate than the lands of Spain (...). We will name this bay la baye de Chaleur (the bay of warmth)". Happy swimming!
