🥮 Magdelen Islands

July 2021

We've been a bit all over the place in a pretty random order, so for once, I'll arrange the pics by place instead of by chronological order.

Plage de la Dune de l'Ouest

Cap de l'Anse à Johnny

Started from chemin de l'Étang des Caps and walked around the cliffs, where we got pretty nice views.

Butte à la Mounette

Very cool spot where we could get a far view of l'île d'Entrée.

I got a couple shots of the butte à la Mounette from the car a few days later.

Anse chez Élie

Île Bourdeau

L'île Boudreau is a very thin rock formation between plage du Bassin Ouest and plage du Bassin Est (I like how names are straightforward in Magdelen Islands).

Plage de la Dune du Sud

This beach also features interesting rock formations.

Cap-Alright

By parking on chemin des Échoueries, we can see the phare du Cap-Alright as well as stunning views from la Plaque-Verte.

Butte Ronde

We went back to Cap-Alright and hiked the butte Ronde which gives a different view on the lighthouse and the Plaque-Verte area as well as the surroundings.

Plaque-Verte

Then we parked on chemin des Montants and hiked the Plaque-Verte cliff itself where we could see the butte Ronde from far away.

Belle-Anse near Fatima

Boucle pédestre

Parked next to a stadium on chemin du Bassin.

Shipwreck near l'Étang du Nord

Next to a cliff around anse de l'Étang du Nord there's a shipwreck that we could see from pretty close by hiking around the beach.

July 15

Views from the village on the other side.

Panoramic talus

Looking for more hills to summit, we found this unnamed panoramic talus near Fatima in between chemin des Caps and chemin du Grand Ruisseau.

Random road

A road that I found very pretty near Belle-Anse.

Cap-Aux-Meules

The ferry in the evening.

Magdelen Islands from the sea

Yeah I could have photoshopped the cable out, but hey, you get to see the real thing. 😛

Île d'Entrée

Last picture of the trip, a bit of a longer exposure leaning on the guardrail of the ship!
