Baie-des-Sables (municipalité)

In Baie-des-Sables, the sea, the land, and the mountains come together to create a diversity of landscapes. It is a paradise for seabirds, whales, and seals. The scenery awakens the artistic spirit, stirs the soul through the reflection of its sunrises and sunsets, and fills the village with the salty scents of the open sea. Established as a parish in 1869, it takes its name from the sandy shoreline that defined it at the time.

Baie-des-Sables benefits from its strategic location. Its proximity to the Mont-Joli regional airport, the Matane–Baie-Comeau–Godbout ferry, the Reford Gardens, and three magnificent golf courses makes this village a sought-after destination. One of Baie-des-Sables’ unique features is the diversity of its agricultural production. In addition to the dominant dairy industry, the area is home to various organic crops, greenhouse-grown flowers and vegetables, as well as other traditional forms of agriculture.
