For those on organized trips, this visit is a relaxing experience. The site is accessible to recreational vehicles. Night parking is also possible.

Eleven kilometres away in the forest, the Madeleine River makes a "grand fall" from 25 metres where the salmon go through an underground fish-pass cut in the rock, which is the only one of its kind in the world. The salmon spawning run takes place from early July to the end of September, watch the rising of the cage daily at 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. For more safety, please check at the lighthouse site to find out about road conditions. Take the time to walk along the fine sand barachois, to admire the sunsets over the cliffs and sailboats in the marina. Schedule: early June to mid-October. Group rates.
