Overview

Kitesurf spot at Monaghan Beach in Sept-Îles, the city's reference urban spot. Monaghan Beach is Sept-Îles' main beach, easily accessible from downtown. The Sept-Îles bay offers semi-protected water thanks to the seven islands forming an archipelago offshore, filtering Gulf swell. It's the most accessible and best-equipped spot on the North Shore with parking, services and archipelago views.
