Spot currently openIntermediate level 47.93 | -64.5

Overview

Ile aux Tresors is a kitesurf spot located in the Miscou archipelago, at the northeastern tip of New Brunswick. This spot takes its evocative name from a small island in the channel between Lameque and Miscou, offering a unique, sheltered and shallow body of water. The spot benefits from a coastal body of water influenced by tides, with shallow areas ideal for riding. The prevailing southwest and westerly winds are regular, complemented by northeast winds. The setting is wild and natural. The sailing season runs from June to September. This spot is suitable for intermediate riders. It is part of the Lameque-Miscou archipelago spot network, one of the best kite playgrounds in eastern Canada.
